Background: Heart failure (HF) poses a substantial global health burden, particularly in
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objective of this study was …

Aims Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are largely
managed in primary care, but their intersection in terms of disease burden, healthcare …

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heart failure (HF) are
frequently cared for in hospital and in primary care settings. We studied labeling agreement …

Background Patients surviving hospitalization for exacerbations of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (ECOPD) are at heightened risk of cardiovascular events. Heart failure is …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is mostly managed within
primary care, but there is little Canadian evidence from this setting. This study was …

Both heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common in
the elderly population and are at least partly understood as accelerated aging. They share …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often part of a more complex
cardiopulmonary disease, especially in older patients. The differential diagnosis of the acute …

Rationale: Cardiovascular disease accounts for one-third of deaths in patients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Better control of cardiovascular risk factors in …

Rationale: Heart failure (HF) is a common comorbidity in the chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) population, but previous research has shown underrecognition. Objectives …

Objective Timely diagnosis and management of heart failure (HF) is critical, but identification
of patients with suspected HF can be challenging, especially in primary care. We describe …
