Abstract:
This paper presents cardiologist's point of view on definition, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary heart disease. Difficulties in interpretation of definition in clinical praxis and the role of medical history, physical examination, lung function tests, gasometry, chest X-ray and ECG in initial diagnosis of pulmonary heart disease are described. Author underlines the importance of echocardiographic study and pulmonary hemodynamics in confirmation of diagnosis and in differential diagnosis of "out of proportion" pulmonary hypertension. The current results of specific for pulmonary artery hypertension vasodilatory treatment in patients with pulmonary heart disease are discussed.
