A method of practical clinical games (PCG) performing is represented. For the PCG themes the extreme and urgent situations requiring the doctors of various specialities (especially on the cardiology and hematology cycles) are selected. A model of specific clinical situation, where students play roles, corresponding to the duties of speciality under conditions, maximally approximating to reality, is reproduced.

AIM: To examine external respiratory function (ERF) and pulmonary circulatory hemodynamics in patients with Stages I and II arterial hypertension (AH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 105 patients with AH were examined. In 43 of them, spirography and echocardiography were performed with pulmonary pressure and determined during elevated blood pressure (BP) and antihypertensive therapy. RESULTS: ERF disorders that recovered with BP lowering were detected in 62.8% of patients with AH. There were also signs of elevated pulmonary pressure. CONCLUSION: In patients with HF, pulmonary hemodynamic disorders, changes in ERF, and the degree of AH are closely interrelated.
