Abstract:
We investigated 60 patients with severe left-sided heart failure before and after cardiac recompensation. We observed that the cardiac insufficiency had a marked effect on dynamic ventilatory parameters. The "effort independent part" of the flow-volume curve was changed significantly by means of cardiac therapy.
