Cardiac Function in Chronic Bronchitis: Effects of Pacing and Plasma Expansion

Abstract: 1. We have investigated left ventricular function in 25 selected patients with chronic bronchitis by use of atrial pacing and plasma volume expansion. Nine subjects had a past history of acute respiratory failure. None had either clinical or electrocardiographic signs of coronary heart disease. Paradoxical pulse was absent, since the difference between the highest and lowest systolic arterial pressure throughout the respiratory cycle was 5.4 +/- 1.5 mmHg. 2. During atrial pacing, at a mean rate of 145 +/- 15, … Show more
