Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in symptomatic aortic stenosis: A main underlying diagnostic confounder and prognostic factor

Abstract:
COPD is associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities and mortality from cardiac pathologies. In heart valve diseases, the onset of dyspnoea is the main determinant of outcome and treatment. Thus, COPD may represent a confounding factor in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) whilst influencing management. Moreover, the correct diagnosis of COPD in symptomatic AS is extremely challenging. We investigate prevalence of COPD in patients with symptomatic AS and its relation with all-cause mortality.
