The aim of the present work was to study the effect of the ozone therapy method, under conditions of subtropical climate of the Caucasian Black sea coast, on the degree of mobilization and adaptation of the cardio-vascular system reserves in patients with stenocardia, in the complex of spa therapy. The ozonized physiological solution was prepared using a "Medozon" equipment (Moscow City). The course of ozone therapy included infusion of ozonized physiological solution (200 mL) with an ozone concentration of 1.0 to 1.5 mg/L, 2 or 3 times a week, 5 to 9 sessions. 134 patients with cardio-vascular pathology, 80 (the major group) with stenocardiac problems, were examinated and treated. All the patients underwent hemodynamic estimation, ECG and veloergometry test. In the analysis of the chest reography, cardiac index, hemodynamics study, etc. an optimization of the blood circulation process were obtained. Improvement in the heart function was confirmed by the estimated of ECG: reduction or disappearance of ischemic changes; as well as by the veloergometry test. Analysing the obtained data we can confirm the high efficacy of ozone therapy method as a training factor that increase the functional reserves of the cardio-vascular system. Ozone application obviously increases the functional economy of the blood circulation system (reduces the use coefficient of myocardial reserves and the oxygen need of myocardium) and its capacity (increasing organism's tolerance to physical loads, increasing the scope of made work and left ventrical's efficiency index).
