ABSTRACT
The authors have analyzed 31 patients (10.2% of the total number of patients with rheumatic fever) to reveal the clinical and roentgenological signs of thromboembolism of the pulmonary arteries. Conditions for the development of pulmonary thromboembolism, peculiarities of its clinical picture and course have been described; attention has been drawn to the roentgenological signs of pulmonary occlusion. The authors believe that the definition of the 5 main pathogenetic variants of a course of thromboembolism of the pulmonary arteries in patients with rheumatic fever can serve as the basis for early diagnosis.

The report presents the findings from a clinical-roentgenologic study of 814 patients with acute myocardial infarction. The myocardial infarction was complicated by pneumonia in 82 (10.7%) patients including 53 cases of hypostatic, and 6 cases of atelectatic forms of pneumonia. The remaining 23 patients presented an exacerbation of chronic pneumonia. In 61 patients (77.0%) pneumonia was associated with venous congestion and 50% of these patients showed interstitial or alveolar pulmonary edema. The diagnosis of pneumonia is shown to be possible on the basis of clinical and roentgenologic signs.

The results of clinical and radiological examination of 363 patients with acute brain vascular diseases are analyzed. The underlying disease was complicated by pneumonia in 50 (13,7%) patients and by pulmonary artery thromboembolism in 25 (6,8%) patients. Clinical and radiological possibilities of differential diagnosis between pneumonia and pulmonary occlusion are shown.

The results of the roentgenologic examination of 48 patients with pulmonary occlusion, complicating acute myocardial infarction are presented. The characteristics of the x-ray appearance of the pulmonary arterial thromboembolism in the patients with acute left ventricular failure are demonstrated.
