Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Geriatrics

Context:

  • Cor pulmonale is a significant health concern in elderly populations.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the diagnostic accuracy of cor pulmonale in elderly patients.
  • To identify common causes, mortality factors, and co-existing conditions.

Summary:

  • Retrospective analysis of 46 elderly patients with cor pulmonale revealed a 27% incorrect diagnosis rate.
  • Chronic bronchitis and COPD were the primary causes (84%), with respiratory and heart failure leading to death (53%).
  • Increased right ventricle wall thickness correlated with disease progression and age; 41% had co-existing coronary heart disease.
