Shinde et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (n=100). Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was evaluated on Frequency of cardiac manifestations (p=0.042). Among 100 patients with COPD, 52% exhibited cardiac manifestations such as pulmonary hypertension and ischemic heart disease, the frequency of which significantly increased with COPD severity (p=0.042).
