The association between cardiovascular diseases and their subcategories with the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a large cross-sectional study based on a Chinese hospital population cohort

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCurrent evidence suggests that cardiovascular disease (CVD) plays a role in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the relationship between CVD and the severity of COPD remains inadequately understood.

Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with more severe obesity were more likely to have responder characteristics for atrial shunt therapy (fewer pacemakers and lower exercise pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR]). of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. Strain measurements in all four chambers were maintained as BMI increased. Overall, 60.9%

Finerenone, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS‐HF trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status. BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.

Association between asthma and cardiovascular disease: evidence from the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999–2018

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Asthma significantly increased the prevalence of stroke among participants aged 1844 years old, with a BMI 18.5029.99kg/m2, with low education levels, and with a PIR<1.00. Asthma also increased the prevalence of angina in females, non-Hispanic Blacks, participants aged 4559 years old, with a BMI30.00kg/m2, and with a PIR<1.00.
