[Characteristic cardiac rhythm disturbances in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]
Abstract:
This 24 hr ECG monitoring study included 226 patients with isolated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease. It revealed severe cardiac rhythm disturbances with the prevalence of high-grade ventricular extrasystole (66.6%), andfrequent paired and grouped supraventricular extrasystoles, paroxysmal supreventricular tachycardia (38.1%) and sinus tachycardia (14.3%). Polytopic atrial tachycardia (14.3%), atrial fibrillation (19.0%) and pacemaker migration through the atria (4.7%) occurred less frequently

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
