High Prevalence of Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction in Severe COPD Associated with A Low Exercise Capacity: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: BackgroundA subclinical left ventricle diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) has been described in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).ObjectivesTo evaluate the prevalence of LVDD in stable severe COPD patients, to analyze its relationship with exercise capacity and to look for its possible causes (lung hyperinflation, ventricular interdependence or inflammatory mechanisms).MethodsWe evaluated 106 consecutive outpatients with severe COPD (FEV1 between 30–50%). Thirty-three (31%) were excluded bec… Show more

“…19 Although it was present in 57% of our cohort, LVDD did not have a significant bivariate association with 6MWT distance in our cohort. This finding may be explained by the fact that 93% of individuals with LVDD in our cohort had only Stage I LVDD, an early form of diastolic impairment state that is not typically associated with functional limitation.…”

“…One case series of 38 patients with pulmonary hypertension from different etiologies revealed Cheyne-Stokes respiration in 39% of the patients. 145 Similarly, COPD is frequently associated with left ventricle diastolic dysfunction 146 as well as systolic heart failure, 147 both conditions known to be associated with Cheyne-Stokes respiration.…”

“…Furthermore, many of the advanced lung diseases treated with lung transplant are associated with a high prevalence of diastolic dysfunction, ranging from 20% to 70% (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Multiple mechanisms may mediate the development of abnormal diastolic function in chronic lung diseases (16,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27). Chronically increased right ventricular (RV) afterload, RV dysfunction, and lung hyperinflation decrease LV preload, which can lead to LV atrophy and abnormal myocyte relaxation (16,19,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27).…”
