Prevalence of Pulmonary Hypertension in COPD Patients

NCT00614900 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 117

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The prevalence of an increased pulmonary blood pressure amongst patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)is unclear. So is the impact of abnormal pulmonary blood pressure on symptoms. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of an increased pulmonary blood pressure in 200 patients with COPD. Furthermore we will investigate if lung function test results and blood tests can predict an increased pulmonary blood pressure, and explore whether COPD patients with a high pulmonary blood pressure have more symptoms that their co-patients.
