Troponin T in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients After Physical Exercise
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate if physical exercise is associated with myocardial damage, expressed by elevated troponin T, in patients with COPD.

Detailed Description
Patients with COPD will perform a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) on treadmill until exhaustion, 8-12 minutes. Venous blood will be drawn before exercise test and 15 minutes, 3 hours and 24 hours after test for analysis of high sensitive Cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT). The investigators will also measure arterial bloodgas, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide consumption, ventilation, blood pressure, ECG, heart rate and ask for dyspnea-score.
