ECG showed R/S in V6<1 in 14/97 (14.43%), Echo showed right ventricular hypertrophy in 22 (22.66%), other parameters are equally comparable in both ECG and Echo. A study of correlation between echocardiographic changes with the duration and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Other studies that correlated the importance of Echocardiography in COPD patients include Lokendra Dave Study.13 Vikram B Vikhe Study.14 Vineet Alexander Study.5 Bhupendrakumar Study.22 and Jain et al. Ramabhishek Sharma Study.7 showed P pulmonale is indicator of severe COPD.7 with few false positives. Satish Kinagi Study.12 showed that the complications of COPD like pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale were better found by ECG and echocardiogram. The patients were subjected to the following examination. Journal of Chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease, COPD 2013;10:62–71. P pulmonale was present in 19.58%. Normal ECG was found in 35 out of 97 patients (39.17%). The results of the present study, conducted in one of the largest cohorts of COPD patients assessed by echocardiography to date, show an elevated prevalence of both left and right cardiac disorders … Echocardiography is a suitable noninvasive alternative to right heart catheterization. Teerthanker mahaveer medical college & research center, moradabad, diagnosis of severity of COPD on the basis of electrocardiogram. In the very severe group of 2 patients, both the patients were recorded to have moderate pAH (100%). ECG 14. After recruitment for the study, a thorough physical examination is done and routine investigations were carried out. They found that 10 of 20 children had ECG abnormalities . ‘P’ pulmonale was present in moderate group in 17.77%. Jayadev S. Mod et al. Prospective observational study from 2014 August to 2015 August. Some classical ECG features of COPD could not be ascribed to one pathophysiological mechanism, so still, when suspecting ECG changes in COPD, we shall look for a modest increase in heart rate, a … We can help such patients in stopping smoking and instituting proper therapy, so that long-term complications are prevented and longevity improved. Among CCP signs, S1S2S3 pattern was the strongest predictor of death and preceded RAO. Study.8 showed that amplitude of p wave is increased in II, III and avf leads in high PASP (>30 mmHg) in moderate COPD patients. Echo is more sensitive compared to ECG. Out of 97 symptomatic patients, 82 have PAH and most of them had moderate COPD. Were the most sensitive indicators of RV function and pulmonary hypertension. Other manifestations like RBBB (Prolonged QRS >0.10 sec, broad terminal S wave in lead 1, V5, V6 and RSR complex in V1 are also seen in about 10 of 97 (10.3%)). This finding concurs with the lack of association between COPD severity and cardiac comorbidity reported in the large ECLIPSE cohort [34] and could lead to the hypothesis that it is the presence of COPD, rather than its severity, that favours the development of cardiovascular disease. reported a cohort of 21 patients with JDM. Alexander V, Pajanivel R, Surendra Menon K, et al. In this study, ECG abnormalities were present in 6 of 14 JDM patients (37.5%); 3 patients had right bundle branch block and another 3 had ST changes. Echocardiography has been concluded to be of better sensitivity than ECG in diagnosing CPHD and both methods, non-invasive and easily applicable, have an important role in examining cardiac changes … Electrocardiographic changes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Sathish kinagi, Sharan Patil, Sayeeda Afiya, et al. The most common abnormality observed was ‘P’ pulmonale seen in 19/97 patients (19.58%). Pulmonary hypertension in mild-moderate COPD: an early link. Thorough history taking, clinical examination, spirometry, chest X-ray, arterial blood gases, 6-minute walk testing, ECG, Echocardiography together can assess a patient of COPD in identifying early pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction leading to increased symptomatology and complications altering prognosis. In the moderate group, in our study 77/90 patients showed pulmonary hypertension by Echo. Shrestha B, Dhungel S, Chokhani R. Echocardiography based cardiac evaluation in the patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Incidence of Pulmonary Hypertension in Echo-cardiographic Examination. Among them 59/97 (60.82%) patients showed ECG changes. Judith Garcia-Aymerich was the recipient of a researcher contract from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (CP05/00118). Similar views were explained in the studies of Asif Hasan.16 and Shresta.17 Chetan Rathi.18 stressed the importance of echocardiography in mild-to-moderate COPD patients to detect early changes of pulmonary arterial hypertension and explained that study of PASP and TAPSE (Trans-tricuspid annular plane systolic Excursions). Medhat Soliman A, Hussen Heshmat B, Yousif Amen A, et al. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a common preventable and treatable disease, is characterized by persistent, progressive airflow limitation. COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; ECG: Electrocardiography; FEV1: Forced Expiratory Volume 1; FVC: Forced Vital Capacity; LVDF: Left Ventricular Dysfunction; TAPSE: Trans-tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursions; PASP: Pulmonary Arterial Systolic Pressure; TTPG: Trans-tricuspid pressure gradient; EF: Ejection Fraction; RAE: Right Atrial enlargement; RVD: Right Ventricular Dysfunction; RHC: Right Heart Catheterization. Very poor echogenic subjects in whom meaningful echocardiographic examination could not be performed were also excluded from the present study. Our study also showed echocardiography is more sensitive than ECG in identifying early Pulmonary Hypertension and Right Ventricular Dysfunction. Indian Journal of Basic & Applied Medical Research 2013;6(2):527-530. Resting Echo … ECG and Echo being non-invasive are more useful than invasive procedures like right heart catheterization. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Ann Int Med Den Res 2015;1(3):213-17. The American Journal of science and medical research 2015;1(1):112-119. Enter multiple addresses on separate lines or separate them with commas. In conclusion, this large, prospective, multicentre, comprehensive echocardiographic study shows that cardiac disorders are highly prevalent in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD, even among those without cardiovascular risk factors other than cigarette smoking. The authors’ affiliations are as follows. Prevalence of P pulmonale increased with severity of COPD, but in our study only 7 patients belonged to severe and very severe group. The present study demonstrates that 2 of the 6 collected ECG signs of CCP were significantly associated with a shorter survival in COPD patients and that a Pao2−Pao2 >48 mm Hg during oxygen therapy further worsened the prognosis. In this group, mild PAH was seen 42/90 (46.66%), moderate PAH was seen in 21/90 (23.33%) and severe PAH was seen in 14/90 (15.55%). R/S ratio <1 in V6 was seen in 15.55% of the patients. Bhupendrakumar Jain, Nikhilesh Pasari, Ashok Bajpai, et al. Among our patients studied, 38/97 (39%) showed normal ECG, but only less than 10% of the symptomatic group showed normal Echo indicating that Echocardiography is a more sensitive indicator. Indian Journal Of Applied Research 2014;4(12):ISSN-2249-555X. The ECG … Thirdly, the study had a cross-sectional design, so no causal relationships with clinical outcomes could be established. Accordingly, the implementation of echocardiography in the evaluation of COPD patients should be considered, since it might help detect unrecognised cardiac disorders and establish adequate treatment that may potentially improve patient prognosis. The study has some limitations. Jayadev S Mod, Parthavi Khandhar, Kanhai Lalani. The patients who are diagnosed as having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as per GOLD guidelines with FEV1/FVC <70% or less are further divided into 3 groups. It is important to assess a patient of COPD not only with clinical, radiological, spirometric criteria, but also with ECG and Echo findings as later parameters can assess the severity and outcome of the disease better. 10%.. Examination of high risk patients with above investigations can probably identify early pulmonary HTN. Dr. Deepak Gupta Study.11 found that the most common ECG changes were P wave axis >+90°, QRS axis >+90°, P wave height >2.5 mm in lead II and R wave in V6<5 mm. We do not capture any email address. But the incidence in the moderate and the severe groups taken together is found to be fairly correlating. Combination of rS pattern in lead V5-V6, right axis deviation, clockwise rotation, dominant R in lead aVR and “P” pulmonale were indicative of RVH in patients lacking classical RVH changes in ECG.7 Humagain S et al. But these ECG changes are not universal. Correlation of Echocardiographic findings with severity of the disease. Adult males and females aged more than 35 years with a history suggestive of chronic obstructive pulmonary airway disease were selected at random from the Outpatient Department of KMCH, Guntur, for the present study. All the modalities of investigation should be considered together, as there is a possibility of false negatives in individual investigations. Journal of Medical Education & Research 2013;3(1):21-30. 2D Echo is also many a times inaccurate to detect pulmonary hypertension in COPD patients. In the severe COPD group, 2/5 (40%) had mild PAH and 1/5 had severe PAH (20%). As anticipated, a previous diagnosis of cardiac disease was associated with greater prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities in the left heart, but the lack of association between the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and echocardiographic abnormalities was unexpected. ISSN 2320-6691 (Online), ISSN 2347-954X (Print). NK Gupta Study.15 showed 50% of patients had normal echocardiography. their first hospital admission due to an exacerbation, and carefully screened patients who satisfied the diagnosis of COPD in a number of hospitals with different clinical practices. Radha Krishnan D, Barama Srihari. Electrocardiographic changes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-correlation with air flow limitation.

COPD is associated with considerable morbidity and a patient of COPD causes financial burden to the family as well as to the national health expenditure. Fourthly, as a result of a suboptimal echocardiographic window, the right ventricle was only measurable in 234 patients. Cardiovascular alterations in COPD what hurts the patient the most? Sandeep Krishna Nalabothu, Leela Krishna Kaku. In our study of 97 patients belonging to moderate, severe and very severe categories Echo showed EF<50% in 35/97 (36.08%) patients. ECG changes significantly correlated with low values of FEV1/FVC ratio. Nepal Med Coll J 2009;11(1):14-18. Right axis deviation of QRS complex; c. R/S amplitude ratio in V6 is less than 1; d. R/S amplitude ratio in V1 more than 1; e. Clockwise rotation of the electrical axis; f. Right bundle branch block; g. S1, Q3 or S1, S2, S3 patterns. Available online at: www.erpublications.com. Electrocardiographic changes in COPD. Editor(s)-in-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a useful adjunct to other pulmonary tests because it provides information about the right side of the heart and therefore pulmonary disorders such as chronic pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary … The following criteria are used to detect right ventricular involvement: a. P-pulmonale pattern (P wave >2.5 mm) in leads II, III, avF; b. Presence of P pulmonale in ECG, R/S ratio less than was significantly correlated with RV dysfunction by echo, but less so with R/S ratio >1 in V1. (Measurable tricuspid regurgitation), pulmonary hypertension with measurable SPAP of >30 mmHg were found in majority in this study. The relatively low incidence of pulmonary hypertension in the severe and very severe group in the present study is because of relatively small study group belonging to severe and very severe COPD. Ecg changes in chronic cor pulmonale. Early identification of the complications, particularly pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction can prevent or delay long-term complications. Chetan Rathi, Anil Wanjari, Sourya Acharya. Increased incidence of ‘p’ pulmonale, right axis deviation and RVH were observed in patients with moderate COPD because majority of our patients belonged to moderate COPD group. In this cohort the proportion of cardiac impairment remained high even after excluding patients with cardiovascular risk factors or previous cardiac disease. Apart from the changes of pulmonary hypertension Agarwal KC.19 showed LVDF in a significant number of patients and according to him echocardiographic changes of pulmonary arterial hypertension and RV dysfunction correlated with severity of COPD by MMRC scale. MA Higham Study.21 stressed the importance of Doppler Echocardiography in COPD patients and measurement of trans-tricuspid pressure gradient and that there was significant correlation with trans-tricuspid pulmonary gradient and FEV1 and DLCO.

Miriam J. Warnier et al.10 Study showed that abnormal ECGs were more prevalent in COPD patients (50%) than in patients without COPD (36%, p=0.054). Clinical, spirometric and radiological parameters were correlated in a different paper. Correlation of ECG Findings with Severity of the Disease. Study (45%).3 Sandeep Krishna Nalabothu Study (20%).4 Vineeth Alexander Study (52.5%).5 showed variable percentage of P pulmonale in different studies. COPD is a disease of old age 6th and 7th decades and most of patients have FEV1 between 50%-80%. Email : ramakrishna45@yahoo.co.in, Corresponding Author: Dr. Ramakrishna Rachakonda, Sanjeevani Hospital, A1, Ramkuteer Majestic, 3/13 Brodipet, Guntur.E-mail: ramakrishna45@yahoo.co.in. To study ECG and Echocardiographic profile among COPD patients and study their importance in the management of COPD. The reason for the differences in the ECG findings in our study may be due to the fact that the sample size was small and also as we had categorized the patients to different groups compared to the other studies, which were carried out on large number of patients without categorization and further our study correlated with other studies in right ventricular hypertrophy, right axis deviation, right bundle branch block and P pulmonale when we correlated these findings in severe and very severe COPD patients, but most of our patients belonged to moderate COPD. Echo … Echocardiogram showed consistent abnormal findings in 94%. ... Echo. We propose that it is necessary to treat a COPD both by Cardiologist and Pulmonary Physician and all modalities of examination clinical, radiological, spirometry, ECG and echocardiogram together can help in identifying pulmonary hypertension to prevent long-term complications. s−1, which is equivalent to a systolic PAP >55 mmHg, a value close to the estimated prevalence of out-of-proportion PH in COPD [33]. Other changes like atrial and ventricular ectopics were found to be nonspecific and could not strictly assess the severity of COPD. Journal of Evidence based Medicine and Healthcare 2015;2(42):7330-7340. Right axis deviation was seen in 4 patients belonging to moderate group (4.96%). Severe group consisted of 5 patients and very severe group consisted of 2 patients. Less common findings include ST segment depression in lead II, III, aVF, T wave inversion in leads V1-V3, Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB), S wave in lead I sign, ventricular ectopics, multifocal atrial tachycardia and S-I, S-II, S-III pattern4 in moderate COPD. The proximal portion of the pulmonary artery may also be dilated in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Whereas right heart abnormalities could be anticipated, such a high prevalence of left heart abnormalities is a novel and unexpected finding that was unrelated to disease severity. Alexander V, Pajanivel R, Surendra Menon K, et al. ECG changes occur in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) due to: The presence of hyperexpanded emphysematous lungs within the chest. Among the 103 patients examined, 6 patients belonged to mild COPD with an FEV1 of >80% predicted; 90 patients belonged to moderate category with FEV1 values after bronchodilator therapy between 50-80% of predicted value, 5 patients belonged to severe category with post bronchodilator FEV1 between 30 and 50% of predicted value and 2 patients belonged to very severe category with post bronchodilator FEV1 less than 30% of predicted value.
