title: [Hemodynamic mechanisms of the pulmonary artery pressure and blood flow changes following vasoactive pressor drugs injection].
abstract: The character and values of changes of the pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics following epinephrine, norepinephrine and angiotensin intravenous injection were studied in acute experiments on the anesthetized cats. After catecholamines injection pulmonary blood flow was always increased, meanwhile pulmonary artery pressure can be elevated (in the most observations) or decreased. In the cases of angiotensin administration the pulmonary blood flow could be augmented or decreased; pulmonary artery pressure had been increased or decreased independently from the character of changes of pulmonary flow. Thus, linear correlation between shifts of the pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary blood flow had not been revealed. The changes of the pulmonary artery pressure were not correlated with the pulmonary vascular resistance ones; however they had strong relationship with the changes of the left atrial pressure. If the left atrial pressure was decreased the pulmonary artery pressure elevation was less, comparing with its values in experiments, where the left atrial pressure was increased; in the case of depressor shifts of pulmonary artery pressure, the left atrial pressure was also decreased. The character and values of the pulmonary blood flow changes were strongly correlated with the changes of the venous return; however they had no linear correlations with the right and left atrial pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance changes. Thus we concluded, that hemodynanics mechanisms of the pulmonary artery pressure and flow changes following vasoactive pressor drugs injection changes are different.
