چکیده
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a condition that develops in advanced stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The development indicate poor prognosis. Objective: To assess the COPD and its correlation with disease severity Methodology: This descriptive study was carried out at Pulmonology department, Fatima Jinnah Institute Chest Diseases Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayyed Al Nahyan Medical Complex Quetta from December 2021 to May 2022. measured by FEV1 (spirometry). All data collected using pre-designed proforma. analyzed via SPSS version 24. Results: In this study, totally 80 patients were enrolled. male participants our 42 (52.5%) while female 38 (48.5%). overall frequency 28 (35%). There statistically significant positive association between presence (p=0.038). Conclusion: Our concludes most common complication should be investigated particularly (severe very severe) order reduce morbidity mortality. Keywords: Prevalence, Hypertension, Chronic pneumonic

The Lipid Profile Parameter in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients and Correlation with Severity of Disease
Introduction: More than 90% of the deaths caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occur in the low- and middle -income countries. The main aim of this study was to investigate the lipid profile levels in COPD patients and examine the correlation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins, high density lipoproteins, and LDL/HDL risk ratio with COPD stages that a...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Diaphragmatic Movements in Sonographic Assessment and Disease Severity in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Introduction: Pulmonary hyperinflation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can increase the breathing rate and reduce diaphragmatic movements by pushing the diaphragms downward and limiting their movements; this, in fact, can affect the breathing process. The purpose of this study was to compare diaphragmatic movements in COPD patients and healthy ones and to evaluate ...
متن کاملCirculating Aldosterone Levels and Disease Severity in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
OBJECTIVES It is not known whether aldosterone levels are associated with increased mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The primary goal of this study was to determine whether circulating aldosterone levels predict severity of PAH in terms of hemodynamic characteristics and mortality. METHODS Patients with stable PAH were enrolled at the Baylor PH program. The pl...
متن کاملQuality of Life in Psoriasis Patients and Its Correlation with Disease Severity
Background & Objective: Psoriasis is a chronic and relapsing disease with a prevalence of 2%. Since it is a chronic and non-fatal skin disease, its impact on quality of life in patients is underestimated compared to other diseases. This study points out to the importance of the quality of life in these patients and their correlation with disease severity. Materials & Methods: Quality of life...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and its Correlation with the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Coronary artery disease secondary to atherosclerosis is the most common cause of mortality. Coronary angiography is the most precise method for determining the extent of disease in the coronary vascular bed. Arterial stiffness has been proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis in some studies. One of the noninvasive methods for the determination of arterial stiffness is Doppler echo...
