CIRCULATORY DISTURBANCES ACCOMPANYING HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS

Central circulatory changes accompanying mitral commissurotomy.

OBJECTIVE evaluation of the success of mitral commissurotomy is based on knowledge of the hemodynamic changes in the pulmonary circulation and left side of the heart before and after fracture of the valve. The information currently available has been obtained primarily from pressure recordings performed at the time of commissurotomy 1-4 or from pressure recordings and simultaneous determination...

Acute effect of low dose theophylline on the circulatory disturbances of cirrhosis.
