Abstract
Today, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most common therapeutic diseases. As COPD progresses, the increase in PH (pulmonary hypertension) coincides with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and increases the level of life risk [2,3,6]. However, very few studies have investigated the mechanisms of the relationship between COPD and cardiovascular diseases. In the conducted studies, the changes in the activity and structure of the heart during the course of the disease were evaluated only by the pathological process in the right part of the heart [1,4,5]. According to the conclusion of the scientific research carried out in recent years, the pathophysiological characteristics of COPD in patients with cardiovascular diseases and those without risk factors have been substantiated as having a special importance in the remodeling of the cardiovascular system.
