METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF RIGHT AND LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely pulmonology, allergology, cardiology, functional diagnostics. Elastic and functional properties of the aorta are assessed by analysing the pulse wave characteristics recorded by non-invasive arteriography. The derived data provide a basis to calculate the principal characteristics of an arterial rigidity: the aortal pulse wave velocity - APWV and the augmentation index - AI. If observing the APWV value of 7 m/s and more and the AI value of 30% and more, the diastolic dysfunction of both ventricles is predicted.EFFECT: method enables the timely diagnosing to begin corrective therapy in the patients suffering from bronchial asthma by assessing the pulse wave velocity in the aorta and the augmentation index.1 tbl, 3 ex
