Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD and Cardiovascular Diseases

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, for example, heart failure or a heart attack. The lungs and the heart work firmly together to supply the oxygen; oxygen in the air that comes into the lungs is moved into the circulation system, which the heart at that point pushes out to rest of the body. But diseases in both the heart and the lungs often go together. If person have COPD then there is a higher risk of having cardiovascular diseases. Comorbidities and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are pervasive, with cardiovascular disease being the most well-known and significant. Risk factors for COPD and Cardiovascular Diseases, such as smoking, low socioeconomic class, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the natural history of each of these conditions. COPD Conferences will focus on the scope of COPD related to cardiovascular diseases.
