[External respiratory function in stages I and II arterial hypertension]
Aim:
To examine external respiratory function (ERF) and pulmonary circulatory hemodynamics in patients with Stages I and II arterial hypertension (AH).
Materials And Methods:
105 patients with AH were examined. In 43 of them, spirography and echocardiography were performed with pulmonary pressure and determined during elevated blood pressure (BP) and antihypertensive therapy.
Results:
ERF disorders that recovered with BP lowering were detected in 62.8% of patients with AH. There were also signs of elevated pulmonary pressure.
Conclusion:
In patients with HF, pulmonary hemodynamic disorders, changes in ERF, and the degree of AH are closely interrelated.

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
