A Study of Electrocardiographic and Echocardiographic in COPD Patients Presenting with Acute Exacerbation in Emergency Medicine Department

Abstract

In this study, ECG and 2DEcho findings in COPD patients will be compared to clinical results in diagnosing right ventricular dysfunction. to correlate COPD severity with ECG and 2DECHO results Supplies and methods: A complete case history and examination were performed on 100 COPD patients. Patients were asked how long they experienced coughing and dyspnea, and how much, what kind, and how often they expected to pee during the day. Patients were also queried about pedal edoema, abdominal distension, and facial puffiness to detect RV dysfunction. ECG, ECHO, and chest X-rays were performed on all patients to detect pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular dilatation, and hypertrophy.
