[Evaluation of cardiovascular disturbances in patients with erythrodermic skin diseases by echocardiography (author's transl)].
Echocardiography was performed in seventeen patients with acute or chronic erythrodermic skin disease, to assess the cardiovascular disturbances. Fundamental difference is between the acute erythrodermic skin diseases, in which the cardiac output is low and the chronic erythrodermic skin diseases in which the cardiac output is very high, during the attacks. The reasons of this difference are studied. The ventricular function parameters are always normal and the hemodynamic disturbances seem only to be related to the modifications of the cardiac output induced by the erythrodermic skin diseases.
