[Long-term study of disorders of heart rhythm in patients with chronic diseases of the respiratory system]. 1989

B Král, and P Tilser, and J Gregor, and M Pospísil, and A Strasová, and J Eliás, and V Havel

The authors investigated the incidence of arrhythmias by the method of continuous recording of ECG tracings according to Holter in 16 patients with chronic respiratory diseases three times in the course of two years. The incidence of arrhythmias was very frequent, more serious disorders (class 3 or a higher class according to Lown's classification) were very rare. The authors provided evidence of a great variability in the incidence of arrhythmias in the same patients during different periods of investigation. They did not reveal a relationship between the incidence of arrhythmias and the degree of functional affection of the lungs, the severity of hypoxaemia and the drop of the maximum aerobic capacity of the lungs. They did not find a relationship between the incidence of arrhythmias and the pressure in the pulmonary artery, or the size of the right or left ventricle or the thickness of their wall. The authors do not consider the finding of arrhythmias in patients with chronic lung disease an unequivocally serious finding, as reported sometimes in the literature.

D011658 Pulmonary Fibrosis A process in which normal lung tissues are progressively replaced by FIBROBLASTS and COLLAGEN causing an irreversible loss of the ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream via PULMONARY ALVEOLI. Patients show progressive DYSPNEA finally resulting in death.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D001145 Arrhythmias, Cardiac Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.

D001249 Asthma A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL). Asthma, Bronchial,Bronchial Asthma,Asthmas
