Venöse Insuffizienz bei Patienten mit chronisch obstruktiver Lungenerkrankung

Abstract: VI of the lower extremity appears more frequent in patients with COPD. We suggest ruling out COPD in patients with otherwise unexplained "primary" VI.

“…4,5,20 Significant association between venous ulceration and COPD, found in the present study, is in line with previous investigations. Erdogmus et al 34 found that in patients with COPD, the prevalence of venous insufficiency of lower limbs was significantly higher in comparison with healthy controls. Patients with COPD are also at increased risk of VTE.…”

“…In these two groups of patients, it was suggested that PH causes an increase in right atrial pressure and this causes venous VI by increasing central blood pressure. Similarly, Erdogmus et al 8 suggested that the prevalence of VI in patients with COPD is higher than the control group, independently of other risk factors. They determined that the prevalence rate of VI increased as the severity of COPD increased.…”

“…7 In addition, VI of the lower extremity appears more frequent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leading to right heart failure and increased central venous pressure. 8 However, there is no study to directly investigate the effect of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with preserved right ventricular function on lower limb VI.…”

“…VI was correlated with the severity of pulmonary arterial pressure. 20,21 Besides, Aldemir et al showed increase of venous insufficiency in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension despite having preserved right ventricle function. 22 Apart from anatomical factors, there are several physiological mechanisms affecting venous return.…”
