Investigation of relationships between interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and development of heart failure would be useful for determining target therapy of heart failure (HF) among such patients. Aims.To study intracardiac hemodynamic and factors associated with its dysfunction among patients with ILD. 40 patients including: 34 with Ch...

The aim of this study was to evaluate intracardiac hemodynamic abnormalities in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and to investigate relevant factors. Methods. The study involved 42 patients with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis. Chest computed tomography (CT), echocardiography, body plethysmography, spirometry, 6-minute walking test, and measuremen...

Aim. To study the relationships between clinical and functional features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and status of cardiovascular system with focus on identifying factors associated with the atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with COPD.Material and methods. Patients (n=94) with COPD out of exacerbation and airways obstruction...

Characteristics of atrial fibrillation pathogenesis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are discussed. The impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treatment on the onset and course of atrial fibrillation, as well as approaches to the treatment of atrial fibrillation in this category of patients are also considered.
