  • Title: [Pulmonary and cardiac functions in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
    Author: Balezina ZN, Grigor'ev IuG, Akol'zina LI.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 2000; (1):24-7. PubMed ID: 10750425.
    Abstract:
    Four hundred and nineteen elderly and old patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were examined. One hundred and ninety six patients were found to have an active tuberculous process and contaminant diseases: essential hypertension in 20.7%, functional classes II-III angina pectoris in 55.6%, postinfarct cardiosclerosis in 23.7%. Hypertrophy of the right cardiac cavities was frequently accompanied with that of the left ones (38.1%). Respiratory diseases caused by comorbidity were prevalent among acid-alkali balance disorders. Metabolic disturbances were detected in 90 (21%) patients. Evaluation of pulmonary and cardiac functions by the analysis of acid-alkali balance, gases, blood, and ECG in geriatric patients allows pathogenetic therapy to be timely and soundly.
