[Correlations between hemodynamic measures and respiratory functions in patients with chronic obstructive lung
Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
|February 17, 1979
Abstract:
Fourteen patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease underwent right catheterization with a Swan-Ganz catheter to correlate lung function with hemodynamic features at rest and on exercise. There appears to be a good correlation between some pulmonary function tests (FEV1, RV/TLC, PaO2 at rest and on exercise) and mean pulmonary artery pressure at rest and on exercise in these patients.
