[Correction of hemodynamics in patients with acute pneumonia].

Patients with acute pneumonia demonstrate disturbance of myocardial contractility manifesting itself in an increase of end diastolic and systolic volumes, a decrease in the ejection fraction and circular myocardial contractility rate. In a raised level of mean arterial pressure i.v. administration of strophanthin in acute pneumonia can produce a negative effect in the form of a decrease in the stroke volume and cardiac output. Myofedrin promotes an increase in cardiac ejection and can be used for therapy of patients with acute pneumonia to correct hemodynamics.
