Diseases of the respiratory system with the subsequent formation of cardiovascular pathology in children

Abstract

Diseases of the respiratory system are one of the most frequent causes of the treatment of children in hospital facilities. The younger the child, the more often these diseases occur and the more severe it can be. Cardiovascular disorders with bronchopulmonary pathology develop slowly, potentially reversible in childhood, which requires a correct assessment of the risk of their development for a particular patient and timely correction of therapy. The presence of dyspnea, prolonged exhalation, pale skin, cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle and acrocyanosis, swelling of the nose (symptoms common to cardiac and respiratory failure) indicate the reaction of the cardiovascular system in diseases of the respiratory system. We examined 14 children: among them 7 boys and 7 girls. Ten children were diagnosed with acute obstructive bronchitis, and 4 with pneumonia. In the course of the study, the parameters were assessed, reflecting the linear dimensions of the heart cavity and the main vessels, followed by the calculation of central hemodynamics, diastolic transmittal blood flow by the method of L.K.
