Abstract:
A prospective study was carried out on 75 patients in which there were 54 Silic-silicosis patients (BBP- Si) to investigate the change of lung artery pressure in the patients with silicosis. The participants were divided into 2 groups: control group included 21 patients who had no cardiological or respiratory diseases; BBP-Si group included 54 patients. Results: the incidence rate of p type was high: 44 cases (81.5%), q type had 8 cases (14.8%). Injuries of level 1 had the highest rate (62.9%). In the BBP-Si group, the mean value of systolic lung artery pressure and the mean value of lung artery pressure were higher than that of control group with p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively. The mean value of diastolic lung artery pressure did not change. Systolic and average lung artery pressure increased high in the group of mass fibrosis.
