title: [Calculation of the arterial pulmonary pressure by using phonomechanocardiography. Correlation with the measurement by catheterization].
abstract: We are presenting a phonomechanographic study for the calculation of sytolic pressure of the pulmonary artery, following the method proposed by Burstin & Fishleder. Correlation is made of 287 patients with the pressure obtained from the registration of direct-catheterism in the pulmonary artery. We insist on the advantages of this method such as quicker accomplishment, easier calculation and harmless for the patient, and we are analyzing some of the physiologic mechanisms which participate in the calculation of the pulmonary systolic pressure. We concluded that it is a reliable method of a high degree of correlation uith the hemodynamic research, specially when both studies are contemporary.
