On the basis of 10 patients with chronic cor pulmonale due to chronic obstructive lung disease and secondary polyglobulia in a clinical and experimental study could be made evident that by limited isovolaemic haemodilution (haematocrit value of 0.58 +/- 0.03 reduced to 0.36 +/- 0.01) are to be expected a decrease of the total pulmonary-arterial resistance, a reduction of the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, an increase of the partial O2-pressure as well as an increase of the heart index. Analogically to this as a consequence of the improved rheologic conditions a clear involution of the clinical signs of a heart insufficiency developed. Complications were not observed. The technique of the limited haemodilution should find a broader use in the medical practice, taking into consideration the isovolaemia as adjuvant treatment principle for patients with the indication mentioned.

D011660 Pulmonary Heart Disease Hypertrophy and dilation of the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart that is caused by PULMONARY HYPERTENSION.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006438 Hemodilution Reduction of blood viscosity usually by the addition of cell free solutions. Used clinically (1) in states of impaired microcirculation, (2) for replacement of intraoperative blood loss without homologous blood transfusion, and (3) in cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia.
