This study investigated changes of systemic and intracardiac hemodynamics under effect of mud application at different temparatures (10, 20-24, and 36 degrees C) in patients with osteoarthrosis and concomitant hypertensive disease and coronary heart disease. It is concluded that combined treatment of this condition should include low-temperature peloidotherapy as a major component since it has the most beneficial effect on general and intracardiac hemodynamics.
