متن کاملComorbidity of heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: more than coincidence.
Heart failure and COPD are very common in the elderly.

Because of the similar clinical presentation, diagnoses of COPD in the presence of heart failure may be difficult. If spirometry is perfor...
متن کاملStatins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH).

Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...
