title: [Specific features of cardiorespiratory system in patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis].
abstract: A hundred thirty eight patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis were examined for the status of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. There is a trend for external respiratory parameters to decrease as the X-ray stage increases (by 30-50% in Stage IV). The revealed cardiovascular changes in patients with different X-ray stages did not differ significantly and there was no clear correlation with the activity of a process and external respiratory parameters. The only hemodynamic indicator clearly associated with the status of the lung was pulmonary hypertension. The involvement of the heart was ascertained not to depend on the stage and activity of sarcoidosis and on the degree of respiratory disorders clearly, which requires cardiovascular monitoring in all patients with sarcoidosis.
