CORRECTION OF RENAL HEMODYNAMICS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PULMONARY HEART
We examined 50 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in different stages of chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPD), who underwent examinations of the pulmonary, intracardiac and renal hemodynamics by ultrasonic duplex scanning. It is established that the inclusion of perindopril in the complex therapy of COPD patients with compensated CRS contributes to the normalization of diastolic velocity and vascular resistance in the system of the renal arteries, and leads to normal systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery, the functional capability of the right ventricle, the indicators of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone. Key words: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pulmonary heart, ultrasonic dopplerography, renal hemodynamics, pulse index, resistance index, systolo-diastolic ratio, maximum systolic rate, end-diastolic velocity.
