Right Heart Failure After Thoracoplasty

ALLAN HURST M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and H. M. MAIER M.D.1

1 The National Jewish Hospital at Denver.

1) We have presented two cases of right heart failure with chronic pulmonary tuberculosis with associated thoracoplasty and permanent phrenic paralysis.

2) While the theoretical considerations for such an association have been given, no definite causal relationship could be postulated.

3) Regular cardiovascular examinations were stressed for patients with increasing dyspnoea who had undergone permanent collapse procedures. Early treatment in cases of right heart failure appeared of definite value in restoring compensation as opposed to late cases.
