[Pulmonary circulation in ischemic heart diseases under bicycle ergometer load and acute strophanthin test conditions (based on data from catheterization of the right heart and pulmonary artery)].
On the basis of monitoring the systolic, diastolic and mean pulmonary artery pressur at rest, during ergometric exercises and under identical conditions following premedicatio with cardiac glycosides (48 measurements in 12 patients with ischaemic heart disease) the authors concluded on the importance of studying this parameter for the diagnosis of initial stage cardiac insufficiency, and on its high informativeness for deciding the indications for initiating therapy with cardiac glycosides.
