Abstract:
Prevalence of pulmonary heart among patients with cardiovascular pathology is 5%. Clinical picture of pulmonary heart comprises symptoms of underlying disease and signs of pulmonary and cardiac failure. The following instrumental methods of investigation are very helpful for diagnosis of pulmonary heart: chest roentgenography, electrocardiography, echocardiography, pulmonary function testing, computer tomography. Pulmonary heart should be diagnosed during ambulatory examination. Hospitalization of patients with pulmonary heart is dictated by severity of clinical condition or presence of diagnostic problems. Radionuclide pulmonary scintigraphy, pulmonary angiography, right heart catheterization, lung biopsy can be carried out in hospital. Treatment should be directed at underlying disease, lowering of pulmonary artery pressure, alleviation of respiratory and cardiac failure.

Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
