KAATSU is considered generally safe, but there are contraindications you should be aware of. You should consult your physician or other health care professional to help you determine whether KAATSU use is right for your unique needs.
KAATSU Contraindications
The contraindications to KAATSU use are largely the same as the contraindications to exercise as recommended by the American Heart Association. These are:
- Acute myocardial infarction (MI / “heart attack”), within 2 days
- Ongoing unstable angina
- Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia with hemodynamic compromise
- Atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or a serious case of cardiac insufficiency (NYHA class IV)

- Acute aortic dissection
- Physical disability that precludes safe and adequate exercise
In addition, to be safe, people with an acute infection, unclear tumour status, acute vena cava dissociation, macular degeneration, chronic lymphedema, pregnancy, or severe hypertension (Systolic >180 or Diastolic >110) should also avoid using KAATSU. We also recommend that children under age 14 do not use KAATSU.
