[Specific features of intracardiac relationships according to echocardiographic data in patients with obstructive or
Aim:
To examine relationships between the areas portions and hemodynamic parameters according to echocardiographic data in patients with various lung diseases accompanied by obstructive and restrictive ventilation disorders.
Materials And Methods:
154 patients aged 15 to 67 years who had various lung diseases were examined. Expiratory respiratory function and echocardiography were performed in all the patients.
Results:
Despite the type of ventilation disorders, all cardiac areas are closely interrelated. The specific features of these relationships depending on the type and severity of ventilation disorders are revealed. Thus, the correlations of the right ventricle with other cardiac areas in the obstructive type increase with the greater severity of bronchial obstruction and they are determined by the diastolic size (volume) of this ventricle.
Conclusion:
The findings suggest that there are two types of compensatory reactions of the heart in lung diseases with obstructive and restrictive ventilation disorders.
