The analysis of the haemodymanic responses and the behaviour of many "contractility indices" of the right ventricle -- after acute intravenous injection of large doses of acetil-digoxin, in twelve patients with CPC caused by COLD with predominant clinical signs of
emphysema
(group A) or bronchitis (group B) -- showed an alarming, although transient, increase of the average pulmonary pressure (PAP), accompanied by rise of pulmonary arteriolar resistanced (
RAP
), especially in patients of the first group. In these cases a slow and cautious digitalization is required. It furthermore suggested that such treatment should start only after an efficient restoration of ventilation, in order to allow a good response of the heart to cardiocynetic treatment.
