Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often coexist due to shared risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and physical inactivity. The prevalence of diagnosed COPD among individuals admitted with heart failure is estimated to be up to 19%. Conversely, individuals with COPD have a higher incidence of heart failure and ischaemic heart disease. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPDs) increase the risk of major cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Current COPD care is suboptimal, with less than a quarter of patients receiving all recommended treatments. Recent clinical trials have shown that single-inhaler triple therapy can reduce cardiopulmonary risk and mortality in individuals with COPD. Strategies to improve care include increased awareness, interdisciplinary collaboration, and proactive identification and treatment of individuals at risk of AECOPDs. The UK Cardiopulmonary Taskforce is working to manage cardiopulmonary risk in COPD and improve cardiovascular outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
