[The diagnostic significance of clinical signs of right ventricular insufficiency in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis].
An echocardiographic study of right ventricular myocardial contractility in 123 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) confirmed the suggestion that in COB patients symptoms of right ventricular failure (cyanosis, acrocyanosis, crural edema, dilated liver) may have extracardiac origin. In echocardiographic diagnosis of right ventricular failure one should measure the speed of the anterior wall movements in the systole, diastole and ejection fraction.
