ABSTRACT
Values for the function of external respiration are submitted as are hemodynamic indices in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis concurrent with arterial hypertension, who had not only been administered antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and bronchoispasmolytic therapies but also received hypotensive agents in different doses. Effects of the latter on results of a multimodality treatment were studied.

Clinical aspects of pulmonary status of 226 patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia are considered. Vascular affection of the lungs was a rare finding. Symptoms of arteriovenous shunting in the lungs were noticed in 10 patients. Indices of external respiration underwent no significant changes in relation to restriction being somewhat reduced in relation to obstruction.

The cardiotropic effect of broncholytic agents of different groups used for treatment of bronchial asthma was analyzed by using the method of determination of isoenzyme of MB creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and total CPK in the blood of the patients. A total of 125 biochemical assays on determination of CPK in the blood of the patients were made. The cardiotropic effects of three agents (adrenaline, novodrin, Berodual) were studied. Adrenomimetics adrenaline and isodrin (novodrin) were shown to increase significantly CPK activity. A combined agent Berodual insignificantly increased the activity of MB isoenzyme of CPK.
