Cor Pulmonale (Pulmono-Cardiac Syndrome) A Case Report

1) A case of pulmono-cardiac syndrome is presented. Detailed clinical and physiological studies were made and autopsy data are also recorded. The outstanding physiologic characteristics were the striking elevation of pulmonary vascular pressures resulting in work loads of the right heart approximately equalling that of the left.

2) The findings in this case are compared to findings in a group of adults with "chronic cor pulmonale secondary to chronic lung disease," which they closely resemble.
