    Abstract:
    In 22 patients with chronic cor pulmonale syndrome plasma renin activity (PRA) was determined at rest and after stimulation by means of intravenous injection of furosemide. In 50% of cases PRA was raised exceeding 250 ng/100 ml/3 hours. The systemic arterial pressure in these patients was normal. The degree of PRA increase after stimulation was lower than in healthy subjects.
