[Regional hemodynamic function in chronic obstructive bronchitis with arterial hypertension]

The state of regional hemodynamics (pulmonary, cerebral and peripheral) was studied in patients suffering from chronic obstructive bronchitis with symptomatic "pulmonogenic" hypertension. Pronounced disorders of regional hemodynamics accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, an increase in the tone of the cerebral and peripheral vessels and their lowered blood filling in patients with a stable phase of this type of hypertension, were established. Multimodality therapy including antihypertensive drugs (Cordanum, clonidine, hydrochlorothiazide, hydrolasin) significantly improved regional hemodynamics.
