Abstract

The authors presents in the article based on observations of 89 patients questions related to the changes of intracardial hemodynamics in patients with bronchial asthma and arterial hypertention (AH) observed using echocardiography. Disorders of indices of intracardial hemodynamics in patients with bronchial asthma and arterial hypertention have more evident negative tendency than that in patients with isolated bronchial asthma (BA) or arterial hypertention. It was established that such patients (without taking into consideration the degree of severity of BA) have considerably an increased volume indices of left and right ventricule, increased pressure in the lung artery, right ventricule hypertrophy, left ventricule concentric hypertrophy as well as disorders of diastolic heart function of relaxation type. Comparing indices of intracardial hemodynamics depending on the degree of severity of BA it was found that progression of lung hypertension, disorders of diastolic and systolic heart functions correlates with the degree of severity of BA. It leads to earlier formation of biventricular heart failure.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
