  • Title: [Reversible cor pulmonale in central disorder of respiratory regulation].
    Author: Trowitzsch E, Schlüter B.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1989 Nov; 137(11):733-6. PubMed ID: 2514353.
    Abstract:
    Irreversible increase of pulmonary vascular resistance is a well known complication of chronic hypoxemia. In our 12 months old patient a central ventilation disorder caused severe hypoxemia and hypercapnea at sleep. With 9 months of age pulmonary hypertension was found echocardiographically and was verified by catheterization. Massive increase of pulmonary vascular resistance was measured. A controlled oxygen therapy normalized oxygen partial pressure at sleep, and a rapid regression of the echocardiographic signs of pulmonary hypertension became evident. However, the central ventilation disorder was not significantly influenced.
