Bronchial asthma and combined pathology: frequency and clinical-funci onal features
Isolated asthma frequency is variable for an analising period of time and in general does have a tendency to be increased. Frequency of asthma combined with cardiac pathology increases up to 10 % per 1 year. Main part of patients with asthma havecombinedpathology. Combination of persistant middle-heavy asthma with arterial hypertension second degree and stenocardia second functional class is typical. Concominant arterial hypertension does not influence on external breathing functions and treatment efficacy of patients with asthma. Abdominal odesity predisposed to restrictive changes and ischemic heart disease aggravates bronchoobstruction. Asthma exacerbation was characterized by increasing of blood pressure middle level in patients without arterial hypertension and by decreased efficacy of hypotensive treatment in patient with combinedasthma and arterial hypertension. In most of patients without concominant arterial hypertension left ventricle abnormalities were revealed. Heaviness of asthma is associated with heart beat rate and ventricle extrasystole frequency.
