title: [Deficiency of conditioning function of the respiratory system in some respiratory and circulatory diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare quantitative characteristics of the lack of conditioning function of the respiratory system (CFRS) and to reveal basic etiopathogenetic factors affecting its severity in patients with various pulmonary and cardiac diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Lack of CFRS was assessed pneumocalorimetrically in 423 patients with chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases (CNPD) and 322 patients with cardiovascular diseases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Factors determining the severity of CFRS lack are: nosological unity, disease stage, occupational hazards, severity of respiratory and circulatory insufficiency.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pneumocalorimetry is useful in diagnosis, for objective evaluation of treatment efficacy and rehabilitation.
