[Changes of electrocardiography parameters in patients with bronchial asthma and arterial hypertention]
Abstract:
The authors presents in the article based on observations of 89 patients questions related to the changes of intracardial hemodynamics in patients with bronchial asthma and arterial hypertention (AH) observed using echocardiography. Disorders of indices of intracardial hemodynamics in patients with bronchial asthma and arterial hypertention have more evident negative tendency than that in patients with isolated bronchial asthma (BA) or arterial hypertention. It was established that such patients (without taking into consideration the degree of severity of BA) have considerably an increased volume indices of left and right ventricule, increased pressure in the lung artery, right ventricule hypertrophy, left ventricule concentric hypertrophy as well as disorders of diastolic heart function of relaxation type. Comparing indices of intracardial hemodynamics depending on the degree of severity of BA it was found that progression of lung hypertension, disorders of diastolic and systolic heart functions correlates with the degree of severity of BA. It leads to earlier formation of biventricular heart failure.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism, and...
