title: [Noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension in aged and elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease].
abstract: Pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed in 97 elderly patients (age 60-79) using electrokymography of the heart and vessels, ECG and rheography of the lungs. All the patients suffered from chronic cor pulmonale (CCP). Electrokymography proved an effective diagnostic tool in detection of pulmonary hypertension in CCP patients, whereas quantitation of the hypertension was successful at electrokymography with application of L. Burstin nomogram and electrocardiography according to S. A. Dushanin. ECG according to R. Bernar et al. appeared poorly sensitive, especially at early CCP stages. A. M. Novikov's rheopulmonography technique can provide only an approximate value of mean pressure in the pulmonary artery of elderly CCP patients.
