Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes damage to the air sacs of the lungs (emphysema) and inflammation in the lung’s airways (bronchitis). Some of the causes and symptoms of COPD overlap with those of cardiovascular disease, …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considered one of the leading causes of mortality. Cardiovascular comorbidities are diagnosed often in COPD patients, not only because of the common risk factors these two diseases share, but also ...

Patients with COPD are particularly vulnerable to cardiac disease, with a higher incidence and prevalence (age and gender-adjusted) when compared with patients without COPD. Indeed, mortality due to cardiac disease in patients with moderate COPD is higher than mortality attributed to causes related with respiratory failure. 7,11–15.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are arguably the most important comorbidities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). CVDs are common in people with COPD, and their presence is associated with increased risk for hospitalization, longer length of stay and all-cause and CVD-related mortality.

The cardiovascular sequelae of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been recognized for decades . The spectrum of cardiovascular disease includes right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension (PH), coronary artery disease (CAD), and arrhythmias ( 2 ).

Commonly people with COPD to have conditions involving the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels carrying blood through the body.

2024年5月31日 · Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most important comorbidity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD exacerbations not only contribute to COPD progression but may also elevate the risk of CVD.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and concomitant disease leads to reduced quality of life, increased hospitalisations and worse survival.

From an epidemiological point of view, patients with COPD are particularly vulnerable to cardiac disease. Indeed, mortality due to cardiac disease in patients with moderate COPD is higher than mortality related to respiratory failure.

2019年11月21日 · For example, COPD induces systemic inflammation, accelerates aging, and reduces exercise tolerance, three features commonly associated with increased arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. 4 More specific to COPD, chronic or intermittent hypoxia may increase arterial stiffness by stimulating proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress ...
