Overview
Echocardiography is helpful to diagnose pulmonary hypertension in patients with long standing chronic bronchitis.
Echocardiography
Patients with chronic bronchitis may develop pulmonary hypertension due to long standing disease and hypoxemia. The hypoxemia causes vascular remodeling eventually leading to right sided heart failure or cor pulmonale although, the gold standard for diagnosis of cor pulmonale is right heart cathaterization. If the echocardiography findings are normal you can rule out the pulmonary hypertension.
- Chronic bronchitis may lead to Left ventricular hypertrophy[1].
