[Hemodynamic changes in the greater and lesser circulations of patients with a mitral heart defect and primary pulmonary hypertension under the influence of differentiated treatment]

Abstract

The state of the greater and lesser hemodynamics in patients with rheumatic mitral heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension was analyzed after treatment with peripheral vasodilators and hemosorption. It is suggested that inclusion of hemosorption in the treatment complex favoured reduction of the degree of pulmonary hypertension, improvement of the central hemodynamics which may be directly related to improvement of the rheological properties of the blood.
