Abstract

Treatment of chronic cor pulmonale consists in therapy of causing disease and early influence of pulmonary hypertension. Long-time oxygen therapy is proved to be an effective measure of live support. Drug effects on pulmonary hypertension up to now are unsatisfactory. In special cases vasodilators have to be checked on responder rate. Right heart decompensation requires an in-patient treatment; physical rest, oxygen insufflation and diuretics are reliable.
