  • Title: [Significance of cyclic nucleotides in pathogenesis of cor pulmonale in tuberculosis of respiratory organs and the use of beta adrenoblockers].
    Author: Ershov AI, Tikhonov VA, Evstaf'ev IuA, Sharunov SI, Grigaliunas AP, Rodina IN.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1994; (5):28-30. PubMed ID: 7870720.
    Abstract:
    Blood levels of cyclic nucleotides and their actions on central hemodynamics were studied in 129 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. A direct correlation was established between heart rate, pulmonary artery systolic pressure and concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Basing on this finding, the authors propose introduction of beta-adrenoblockers in hyperkinetic circulation tuberculous patients to prevent cor pulmonale. Administration of anapriline in tuberculous patients with compensated cor pulmonale and symptoms of sympathoadrenal hyperfunction improves the patients' condition, promotes a decrease in cardiac output, cardiac index, systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery. No side effects of the drug were reported.
