Abstract

49 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 40 healthy persons were examined. The hemocoagulation state indices were followed up before and after treatment. The patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were classified into two groups: I gr.--treated without drugs acting on the hemocoagulation factors, II gr.--treated with heparin applied by electrophoresis. Significant changes of some of the basic indices of hemostasis were found. Following electrophoretic application of heparin they were considerably improved compared with the control group of patients treated without heparin. This kind of treatment is well tolerated by the patients and does not lead to untoward reactions.
