METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHRONIC COR PULMONALE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PROFESSIONAL DUST BRONCHITIS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/02 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention is referred to the field of medicine, namely to the area of functional diagnostics. It serves for presence or absence of respiratory failure accompanying ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension in patients with chronic professional dust bronchitis.
