Electrocardiographic abnormalities in tropical pulmonary eosinophilia.

(1990-01-01) Agarwal, S K; Roy, D C; Johri, A

A 12 lead electrocardiogram in 70 patients with tropical pulmonary eosinophilia showed abnormalities 28.57%. ECG changes observed were right axis deviation (10%), 'P' pulmonale (10%), clockwise rotation (5.7%), right ventricular hypertrophy (1.4%), partial RBBB (2.8%), first degree A-V block (1.4%) and ST-T changes (1.4%). All ECG changes reverted back to normal after diethyl carbamzine therapy in the dose of 10 mg/kg body weight for a total duration of 14 days.

Importance of smoking index for assessing lung damage by lung function tests.

(1989-07-01) De, A K; Tripathi, M M; Matah, S C; Roy, D C

A total of 89 smokers of age varying between 15-52 years were assessed for lung function forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ratio of FEV1 and FVC as FEV1% and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), before smoking (BS) and 30 min after smoking (AS). All the above lung function tests were reduced in smokers in comparison to those of age-matched non-smokers. Further, when observed test values of lung function were tabulated according to smoking index (SI), it was noted that reduction of lung function increased with SI.
