[Hemodynamics, blood gas composition and viscosity in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis complicated by chronic cor pulmonale].

Hemodynamics, external respiratory function (ERF), blood gas composition and viscosity were studied in 120 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis at different developmental stage of cor pulmonale. In pulmonary hypertension, there were moderate ERF disorders that became more marked in the compensatory and particularly decompensatory cor pulmonale. As bronchial patency deteriorated, the index of right ventricular performance increased from 0.

[Efficiency of perstarium in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis and pulmonary hypertension].

Thirty-two patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) aged 38 to 52 years (mean 40.5 +/- 3.8 years) who had clinical and functional parameters of NYHA functional class (FC) IV (WHO, 1998) pulmonary hypertension (PH).

[Clinical and hemodynamical efficacy of prestarium and its role in the treatment of chronic pulmonary heart].

Aim: To assess clinical efficiency and safety of ACE inhibitor prestarium (Servier, France) with specification of its effects on central and pulmonary hemodynamics, hepatic blood flow, indications in patients with chronic pulmonary heart (CPH).

Material And Methods: 42 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) complicated by CPH entered the trial. The patients were divided into two groups.

[Efficacy of losartan treatment of right ventricular cardiac insufficiency in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis].

We examined 44 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) and clinical symptoms of right ventricular failure (RVF). Hemodynamic parameters were registered at echocardiography in M- and B-doppler modes. Gas composition of the blood was studied with Astrrope micromethod.
