title: [Pneumothermometric estimation of conditioning function of the respiratory system in ischemic heart disease].
abstract: The research was carried out on 153 patients with ischemic heart disease at standard ambient temperature and humidity. The conditioning function of the respiratory system was examined by pneumothermometric method. Values of expired air temperature (EAT) have been compared with predicted values. Statistically significant increase of EAT was observed: in myocardial infarction - 0.49 degrees C, in atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis - 0.36 degrees C, in unstable angina pectoris - 0.12 degrees C. These data how respiratory heat exchange flux in patients with ischemic heart disease, possibly due to lung haemodynamics disturbances which are common among patients with this pathology. This measuring of expired air temperature is advisable for functional diagnostics of the respiratory system in routine and emergency cases.
