Cardiovascular Prognosis of Subclinical Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Coronary Artery Disease.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worsens prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the cardiovascular prognosis in patients with stable or mildly symptomatic COPD remains unclear. Here, we sought to determine the long-term cardiovascular events in patients with subclinical or early-stage COPD with concomitant CAD.

Background: Systemic inflammation is the pathophysiological link between coronary artery disease (CAD) and COPD. However, the influence of subclinical COPD on patients with suspected or diagnosed CAD is largely unknown. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the degree of coronary involvement in patients with COPD and suspected or confirmed CAD.

- Stress echocardiography (ESE) is effective for diagnosing coronary artery disease, but its safety needed further evaluation, leading to this study of complications during ESE.
- The study analyzed data from 10,250 patients, highlighting that cardiac arrhythmias (CA) were common, with 27.7% experiencing such complications, although there were no severe outcomes like death or myocardial infarction.
- Key findings indicated that older age and enlarged left atrium were significant predictors of arrhythmias, suggesting ESE is safe with only non-fatal complications associated.
