2. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ventricular_hypertrophy

   Common causes of PH include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, and other restrictive lung diseases. RVH often occurs as a result of these disorders. RVH is seen in 76% of patients with advanced COPD and 50% of patients with restrictive lung disease. [3] RVH also occurs in response to structural defects in the heart.

3. Multifocal atrial tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifocal_atrial_tachycardia

   Multifocal (or multiform) atrial tachycardia (MAT) is an abnormal heart rhythm, [2] specifically a type of supraventricular tachycardia, that is particularly common in older people and is associated with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Normally, the heart rate is controlled by a cluster of cells called the ...

   Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...

6. Effect of oxygen on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_oxygen_on...

   Many people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have a low partial pressure of oxygen in the blood and high partial pressure of carbon dioxide.Treatment with supplemental oxygen may improve their well-being; alternatively, in some this can lead to the adverse effect of elevating the carbon dioxide content in the blood (hypercapnia) to levels that may become toxic.

7. Pulmonary heart disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_heart_disease

   The pathophysiology of pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale) has always indicated that an increase in right ventricular afterload causes RV failure (pulmonary vasoconstriction, anatomic disruption/pulmonary vascular bed and increased blood viscosity are usually involved [1]), however most of the time, the right ventricle adjusts to an overload in chronic pressure.
