Main Echocardiographic Parameters in Patients With Chronic Cerebral Ischemia Depending on the Presence of Concomitant Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examines the main echocardiographic parameters in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) and analyzes how these parameters are influenced by the presence of concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). CCI, associated with reduced cerebral blood flow, can be exacerbated by COPD, which negatively affects cardiovascular and respiratory functions. The study evaluates key echocardiographic markers such as left ventricular ejection fraction, right ventricular function, and pulmonary artery pressure. The findings indicate that patients with both CCI and COPD exhibit more significant cardiac dysfunction, suggesting that COPD may worsen cardiovascular complications in CCI patients.
