  • Title: [Effects of diprophylline on pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic pulmonary disease].
    Author: Kang J.
    Journal: Zhonghua Jie He He Hu Xi Za Zhi; 1992 Jun; 15(3):153-4, 190. PubMed ID: 1473187.
    Abstract:
    The present study was undertaken to evaluate the short-term effects of diprophylline on hemodynamic and gases exchange in 10 patients in stable condition with chronic pulmonary disease. Diprophylline decreased the pulmonary vascular resistance by markedly reducing the mean pulmonary arterial pressure but didn't change cardiac output significantly. Diprophylline also caused a significant decrease in arterial carbon dioxide tension, but there was no significant difference between the level of PaO2, SaO2 and A-aDo2 before and after the administration of diprophylline.
