[The diagnostic importance of chronocardiometry in patients with chronic inflammatory lung diseases]
Abstract:
Based on an examination of 14 patients with chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases the authors compared results of a study of the phase structure of the cardiac ventricular systole with data of two-dimensional echocardiography. Data of phasic analysis of the ventricular systole indicate the presence of several phasic syndromes. Hyperdynamia and hypodynamia of the myocardium were most frequent syndromes. Results of correlation analysis of the dependence of ejection fractions and indices of the ventricular systole structures were not significantly interdependent. Thus, results do not confirm diagnostic value of ventricular systole phase structure in assessment of the contractile function of the myocardium in patients with chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases.
