[Hemodynamics of the lesser circulation in lung cancer]. 1980

Ia N Shoĭkhet

Rheographic studies of the lung in 106 lung cancer patients have revealed hypovolemia of the lung involved, which was especially pronounced in central cancer with atelectasis, cancer of the main bronchus, perivascular tumor growth, metastases in the hilar lymph nodes, a concomitant inflammatory process. A complex estimation of the rheopneumogram enable revealing three forms of hemodynamic disturbances in the lesser circulation: hypervolemic, hypovolemic, hypertonic ones.

D010701	Phonocardiography	Graphic registration of the heart sounds picked up as vibrations and transformed by a piezoelectric crystal microphone into a varying electrical output according to the stresses imposed by the sound waves. The electrical output is amplified by a stethograph amplifier and recorded by a device incorporated into the electrocardiograph or by a multichannel recording machine.	Phonocardiographies
D010992	Plethysmography, Impedance	Recording changes in electrical impedance between electrodes placed on opposite sides of a part of the body, as a measure of volume changes in the path of the current.
