The coronary blood flow in pulmonary emphysema and cor pulmonale.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coronary blood flow was determined in 9 individuals with pulmonary emphysema alone and emphysema with cor pulmonale. Intracardiac pressures, cardiac output and pulmonary functions were also studied. In S of the 9 cases coronary blood flow was within the normal range. In one case with a high cardiac output the coronary blood flow was elevated in proportion. The presence of cor pulmonale did not appear to influence the results.

Left ventricular function, metabolism, and blood flow in chronic cor pulmonale.
Left ventricular function, oxidative metabolism, and coronary blood flow were evaluated in 11 patients with chronic cor pulmonale (mean age 53 years) at rest and during stress, and compared with 11 normal subjects (mean age 29 years) studied under similar conditions. The left ventricles of patients with chronic cor pulmonale were normal in regard to contractile state, preload, afterload, corona...

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND As a concept, cor pulmonale was introduced over 200 years ago but the exact origin of the term is uncertain. Osler commented in the first edition of his text book that " hypertrophy of the right ventricle ... results from increased resistance in the pulmonary circulation, as in cirrhosis of the lung and emphysema". McGinn and white apparently were the first to use the term...
متن کاملCerebral circulation and metabolism in pulmonary emphysema and fibrosis with observations on the effects of mild exercise.
Chronic pulmonary disease, particularly emphysema and fibrosis, may result in variable alterations in blood oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions, depending upon the severity of the disease. Changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen tensions have been shown to have a profound influence on cerebral circulation in acute experiments on normal subjects (1). Recently Patterson, Heyman, and Duke (2) demonstr...

متن کاملSoluble receptor for advanced glycation end products in COPD: relationship with emphysema and chronic cor pulmonale: a case-control study
BACKGROUND The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a multiligand signal transduction receptor that can initiate and perpetuate inflammation. Its soluble isoform (sRAGE) acts as a decoy receptor for RAGE ligands, and is thought to afford protection against inflammation. With the present study, we aimed at determining whether circulating sRAGE is correlated with emphysema and c...
