Abstract

Photobiomodulation (PB) is a utilization of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in the far red (R) to near infrared (NIR) spectrum (600–1000 nm) to wield its therapeutic effects. To explore the therapeutic potential of biomodulation of different tissues, LLLT has been extensively researched, especially in the light of its very low side effect profile. We believe there is an opportunity to unearth its dynamic effects on the coronaries which can be promising for the patients with chronic stable angina. NIR treatment of the heart may be protective on patients after acute myocardial infarction or on ischemic heart conditions that are not accessible to current revascularization procedures.
