[Pulmonary artery pressure in the pathophysiology of lung-resections therapy. Part II: bronchial carcinoma and pulmonary tuberculosis (author's transl)].
Patients with lung resections due to bronchial carcinoma have a much higher early death rate than patients with lung resections because of pulmonary tuberculosis. Functional failure of the cardiorespiratory system and right heart insufficiency are considered to be the main reasons for this difference. Intracardial pressure values were compared between 530 patients with bronchial carcinoma and 200 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis revealing significantly higher pressure values in the right heart and pulmonary artery for patients with bronchial carcinoma. Predisposing factors of the aged people are fundamental in this respect.
