Abstract

Fourteen experimental indices were determined in 26 patients of chronic cor pulmonale due to COPD and in 32 healthy nonsmokers. It was found that elastase, TXB2, ATII, 5-HT, IgE, CTC and Ach were significantly higher whereas 6-keto -PGF1 alpha, C4 and cAMP lower in the blood from the patients. The roles played by these factors in the development of chronic cor pulmonale were discussed.
