  • Title: [Alveolitis--its effect on lung circulation].
    Author: Pielesch W, Riedel E, Liebetrau G.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1981 Nov 15; 36(22):867-70. PubMed ID: 7342508.
    Abstract:
    29 patients with exogenous allergic alveolitis and 57 patients with chronic fibrosing alveolitis were examined. Lung function and blood gas analytical parameters and the pressure of the pulmonary artery in rest and during load were investigated in all persons. The measured results of the two groups of patients were compared. In all patients a restrictive disturbance of ventilation and a hypoxemia were established. 34 patients showed an increased pressure of the pulmonary artery in rest, in 22 patients an elevated pressure in the pulmonary circulation on loading conditions was measured. By reason of different loading pressures all 85 patients were divided into 3 groups, where their function patterns were discussed. The special importance of evidence of loading investigations in pressure measurements in the pulmonary circulation is discussed.
