- Abstract
The present analysis suggests a need for further research, in order to potentially reassess the current cardiac contraindications for ET treatment and to bring more evidence regarding the safety of ET application in patients with different cardiac diseases. Even though ET is widely used, research is scarce regarding its effects in patients with associated arrhythmias or ischemic heart disease, and it is not known whether ET itself induces or aggravates certain arrhythmias during or immediately after therapy.

Each patient was clinically evaluated and was furthermore prescribed a PT program (ET, massage and exercise therapy) by their doctors, based on their clinical judgment and with respect to the patient's contraindications.
