   These include hypotension, cardiogenic shock, syncope, evidence of right heart dysfunction, and elevated cardiac enzymes. [38] Some ECG changes including S1Q3T3 also correlate with a worse short-term prognosis. [24] There have been other patient-related factors such as COPD and chronic heart failure thought to also play a role in prognosis. [38]

   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).

   COPD is defined as a forced expiratory volume in 1 second divided by the forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) that is less than 0.7 (or 70%). [8] The residual volume, the volume of air left in the lungs following full expiration, is often increased in COPD, as is the total lung capacity, while the vital capacity remains relatively normal.

7. Respiratory failure - Wikipedia

   Conditions that impair the lungs' blood supply. These include thromboembolic conditions and conditions that reduce the output of the right heart, such as right heart failure and some myocardial infarctions. Conditions that limit the ability of the lung tissue to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the air within the lungs ...
