Abstract
Objectives: This study is designed to investigate the effects of pulmonary arterial hypertension on RV systolic and diastolic functions in cases of COPD and to correlate RV systolic and diastolic functions with pulmonary arterial pressure.
Material and Methods: 100 patients admitted in various medical wards of tertiary care Hospital and a primary care hospital with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease persons with age and sex-matched. 35 age and sex matched person without any associated and known disease were taken as control subjects. Selection of cases has been made on basis of detailed history, thorough clinical examination, electrocardiography, chest x-ray, pulmonary function tests.
Observation: RV Systolic function (RVEF and RVWT) are significantly abnormal in patients of stable compensated COPD and they are significantly correlated with PAP(p ................
