Pulmonary Vasculature and Right Heart Dysfunction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonay Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The pulmonary vasculopathy and right heart dysfunction in COPD are drawing increasing attention these days. Recent researches show that pulmonary vasculopathy and right heart dysfunction relate to greater severity in COPD. Applying appropriate modalities for early detection of pulmonary vasculopathy and right heart dysfunction is of great importance. What's more, the interaction mechanism between pulmonary vasculature, right heart and COPD still needs to be further studied. The aim of our study is to develop an assessment system of pulmonary vasculopathy and right heart dysfunction in COPD patients and elucidate their impact on COPD course and outcome.
