Pulmonary Blood Volume and Pulmonary Capillary Blood Volume in Valvular
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements of pulmonary blood volume (PBV) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (V,) and hemodynamic studies were made in a series of 106 patients with valvular heart disease (62 with predominant mitral lesions and 44 with predominant aortic lesions). The results were compared with the data obtained from 14 "normal" patients and nine normal subjects. In 14 "normal" patients, the PBV varied from 204 to 315 m/m2 with a mean value of 269 ml/m2, while in nine "normal" patients and nine normal subjects the V, ranged from 39 to 66 mI/M2 with a mean value of 54 mI/M2.

Pulmonary function during pregnancy in normal women and in patients with cardiopulmonary disease.
Pulmonary function studies were carried out during pregnancy in 8 normal women, in 8 patients with valvular (either mitral or aortic) heart disease, and in 8 patients with chronic pulmonary disease (either emphysema or sarcoidosis). In healthy pregnant women, changes in lung volumes and maximal expiratory flow rates were not significant. Diffusing capacity tended to decrease associated with unc...

BACKGROUND An increase in pulmonary capillary blood volume secondary to angiogenesis has been described in Kaposi's sarcoma. The value of the pulmonary capillary blood volume as an early marker of pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma was evaluated. METHODS In a prospective study 45 HIV positive patients (nine asymptomatic for Kaposi's sarcoma, 29 with cutaneous or mucocutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma, and se...

Pulmonary tissue volume, cardiac output, and diffusing capacity in sustained microgravity.
In microgravity (microG) humans have marked changes in body fluids, with a combination of an overall fluid loss and a redistribution of fluids in the cranial direction. We investigated whether interstitial pulmonary edema develops as a result of a headward fluid shift or whether pulmonary tissue fluid volume is reduced as a result of the overall loss of body fluid. We measured pulmonary tissue ...
