title: [Lesions of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves in cardiopulmonary failure].
abstract: Using clinical and electromyographic methods, patients with pronounced forms of cardiopulmonary insufficiency (stages II-BIII) were examined. The study revealed moderately expressed neurologic disorders which were grouped into the following syndromes: radiculalgic, polyneurotic, polymyelitic, ischemic myelopathy, Brown-Secar's and Preobrazhensky's syndromes. The pathogenesis of these syndromes is consequent on ischemia of the spinal cord and that of peripheral nerves. The use of electromyography permits the diagnosis of the subclinical forms of these disturbances. The prognosis is relatively favourable.
