Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate right and left heart hemodynamics, right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular dyastolic function and effectiveness of nebulized bronchodilators. The study involved 86 elderly patients with bronchial asthma (BA). The control group included 22 elderly patients without lung or heart diseases. The results found remodeling RV and LV, RV and LV dyastolic dysfunction that worsened as asthma severity increased. These parameters correlated to a level of pulmonary hypertension which was mostly moderate (35.0 ± 7.9 mmHg). Nebulized bronchodilators improved the heart hemodynamics: pulmonary hypertension reduced, time and velocity parameters of RV and LV improved. The most effective medication in elderly patients with BA was Berodual.
