[Respiratory and renal functions and blood electrolytic composition in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the treatment of heart failure].
The authors studied respiratory and renal functions and blood electrolytic composition in 94 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the treatment of heart failure with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and an angiotensin II blocker (AIIB). At the same time they examined a control group of 24 patients untreated with ACEI and AIIB. All the patients received combined antituberculous therapy. Cardiac glycosides and diuctics were given in some cases. During 1-2 months, the patients from the experimental group additionally took captopril, 12.5-25.0 mg, twice a day or prestarium, 2.0-4.0 mg, once a day, or cossar, 50 mg, once a day. After the treatment, ACEI and AIIB were found to have no effect on blood gas and electrolyte composition, and respiratory and renal functions. With captopril and ramipril there was a higher patency of minor bronchi in the experimental groups than in the controls.
