Article Synopsis
- Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is characterized by inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle, affecting its function and leading to various clinical conditions.
- Traditional clinical assessments like stress tests focus on oxygen uptake and heart rate but often overlook hydration status, which can also significantly influence cardiopulmonary performance.
- The study examines bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and its vector analysis (BIVA) methods to assess hydration status in patients with IHD and explores how these findings relate to their cardiopulmonary responses.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by complex lesions of the lungs and other organs as well as a progressive obstruction of the airway. In COPD patients, heart failure (HF) is associated with worse conditions such as inflammation, arterial stiffness, and increased risk mortality. However, the association of HF, COPD, and stroke are unclear; the examination of the role of HF, especially right HF, about increased risk of stroke in COPD patients has not been studied.

Objectives: Evaluate the association of cardiac cachexia and atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients.
