[Pulmonary gas exchange after myocardial infarction in the late period of recovery. II. Investigations during exercise (author's transl)].

After myocardial infarction in the late period of recovery (13-25 months p. infarctum) pulmonary gas exchange in 23 patients was measured besides as hemodynamic parameters during exercise. The parameters take a course similar to that of subjects without lung and heart diseases.

[Pulmonary gas exchange after myocardial infarction in the late period of recovery. I. Investigation at rest].

In the late period of recovery after myocardial infarction (13-25 months p. infarctum) lung function of 23 patients was examined at rest. Spirometric values and parameters of pulmonary gas exchange showed alterations caused by pathological left ventricular function.
