[Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the correction of hemodynamic disorders in patients with chronic cor pulmonale].

Abstract

Indices were studied for the right and left ventricular performance in 15 patients with chronic cor pulmonale before and after treatment with tekom containing above 43% of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. A drop in the pulmonary artery pressure was recordable as was a decline in hyperfunction and dilatation the right ventricule of the heart, which fact can be explained by improvement of the pulmonary ventilation and vasodilatational effect of tekom mediated by a change of the eicosanoids spectrum.
