[Pulmonary hypertension and cardiac lesions in chronic nonspecific lung diseases].
Clinical and instrumental criteria for pulmonary and intracardiac hemodynamic disorders within the lesser circulation, associated with chronic nonspecific pulmonary disease (CNPD) are presented. It is demonstrated that right-ventricular (RV) hypertrophy is not an obligatory sign of hemodynamic disorders complicating chronic pulmonary disease, therefore selecting it as the principal sign of an intricate complex of pulmonocardiac disorders is a mistake that interferes with prospective early clinical diagnosis of pulmonocardiac disturbances associated with CNPD and reduces the efficiency of their treatment. The nature of CNPD-associated pulmonocardiac disturbances is adequately reflected in the term "secondary pulmonary hypertension".
