Analysis reveals significant correlations between cardiac hemodynamics and lung function in COPD, suggesting implications for heart failure.
Motivation: Studies have suggested correlations between heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the associations between cardiac hemodynamic impairment and lung function as well as COPD subtypes remain unclear. Goal(s): To investigate cardiac hemodynamic changes seen in COPD, to gain insight into the mechanisms relating COPD and heart failure. Approach: We analyzed 4D-flow derived hemodynamics in a cohort of 256 participants from the SPIROMICS-HF study. Results: We found significant correlations between cardiac hemodynamics and COPD subtypes as well as other pulmonary function measures. Impact: We present the potential of 4D flow MRI to non-invasively assess the cardiopulmonary hemodynamic interaction in COPD which may allow early detection and management of subclinical heart failure secondary to COPD.
