[Hemodynamics of pulmonary circulation in patients with hypertension complicated by chronic ischemic heart disease].

Pulmonary circulation hemodynamics were studied in 175 patients with essential hypertension (EH), coronary disease (CD), atherosclerotic and post-infarction cardiosclerosis and combinations thereof. Pulmonary hemodynamic disorders were found both in cases of EH and CD, being more pronounced in EH patients. When the two diseases are combined, changes reflecting the state of pulmonary hemodynamics are more marked than those occurring in patients with EH or CD alone. When combined, EH and CD mutually aggravate each other's clinical course and symptomatology.
