Gas exchange efficiency in congestive heart failure.
The lungs and heart are irrevocably linked in their oxygen and CO2 transport functions. Functional impairment of the lungs often affects heart function, and functional impairment of the heart often affects lung function. In patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF), exertional dyspnea is a common symptom, and ventilatory effort is increased at a given exercise workload despite normal...
متن کاملClosing capacity and gas exchange in chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Although it is commonly assumed that pulmonary congestion and edema in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) promotes peripheral airway closure, closing capacity (CC) has not been measured in CHF patients. PURPOSES To measure CC and the presence or absence of airway closure and expiratory flow limitation (FL) during resting breathing in CHF patients. METHODS In 20 CHF patient...
متن کاملGas exchange efficiency in congestive heart failure II.
It has become increasingly apparent that congestive heart failure (CHF) affects not only the cardiovascular system, but every organ system involved with oxygen transport, including the respiratory system, skeletal muscles, and the hormonal and neural feedback control systems for breathing, cardiac output, blood pressure, blood volume, and distribution of blood flow. One segment of this transpor...
متن کاملHepatic coma with renal failure, treated by repeated exchange transfusion.
Hepatic coma following acute hepatic necrosis carries a high mortality in spite of conventional therapy (Katz et al., 1962; McDonald and De la Harpe, 1963; Cook and Sherlock, 1965), but the concomitant development of renal failure makes the prognosis even worse (Hecker and Sherlock, 1956). Owing to the extraordinary capacity of the liver to regenerate, other forms of treatment have recently bee...
متن کاملAssociation of hemodialysis and pruritus in chronic renal failure
Background and aim: Pruritus is a common disabling problem in patients with end stage renal disease. Several studies has recorded the relation between pruritus with hemodialysis in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of hemodialysis on pruritus of patients with CRF.Materials and Methods: After recording the demographic data and the diagnosis of d...
