Heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: An ignored combination?

European Journal of Heart Failure
Frans H RuttenArno W Hoes

Abstract

To quantify the prevalence of heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and vice versa. Further, to discuss diagnostic and therapeutic implications of the co-existence of both syndromes. We performed a Medline search from 1966 to March 2005. The reported prevalence of LVSD among COPD patients varied considerably, with the highest prevalence (10-46%) among those with an exacerbation. One single study assessed the prevalence of heart failure in COPD patients. A prevalence of 21% of previously unknown heart failure was reported in patients with a history of COPD or asthma. We did not find any report on COPD in heart failure or LVSD patients. Diagnosing heart failure in COPD patients or vice versa is complicated by overlap in signs and symptoms, and diminished diagnostic value of additional investigations. In general, pulmonary and heart failure 'drug cocktails' can be administered safely to patients with concomitant COPD and heart failure, although (short acting) beta2-adrenoreceptor agonists and digitalis have potentially deleterious effects on cardiac and pulmonary function, respectively. Although knowledge about the prevalence of concomitant heart fai...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
