Cardiovascular Comorbidity in COPD: Systematic Literature Review
TLDR
Available observational data support the hypothesis that COPD is associated with an increased risk of CVD, and two studies found a relationship between the severity of airflow limitation and CVD risk.About:

Can machine-learning improve cardiovascular risk prediction using routine clinical data?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed whether machine-learning can improve cardiovascular risk prediction and found that machine learning offers an opportunity to improve accuracy by exploiting complex interactions between risk factors, which can increase the number of patients who could benefit from preventive treatment, while avoiding unnecessary treatment of others.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanisms underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is associated with chronic inflammation that is usually corticosteroid resistant, and accelerated ageing of the lungs and an abnormal repair mechanism driven by oxidative stress.

Risk of cardiovascular comorbidity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: The coexistence of COPD, cardiovascular disease, and major risk factors for cardiovascular disease highlights the crucial need for the development of strategies to screen for and reduce cardiovascular risks associated with COPD.

TL;DR: A high prevalence of multimorbidity occurs in older adults across countries, with low- and middle-income countries gradually approaching the figures of richer countries and common underlying etiopathogenic factors may play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining the relationship between COPD and CVD: what are the implications for clinical practice?
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that the increased risks for CVD are particularly pronounced in COPD patients in mid-to-late-middle-age and thus it is in this age group that the benefits of early intervention may prove to be the most effective.

Trends and cardiovascular co-morbidities of COPD patients in the Veterans Administration Medical System, 1991-1999.
TL;DR: It is concluded that CV diseases are remarkably prevalent among Veterans with COPD, and their incidence is likely to increase as the Veteran population ages.

The prognostic influence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients hospitalised for chronic heart failure
TL;DR: To investigate the prevalence and the prognostic impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in patients hospitalised with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD.
TL;DR: It will be a challenge for randomized controlled trials to overcome the difficulties of the diagnosis of right ventricular failure and the definition of a relevant primary endpoint in pulmonary hypertensive COPD patients.

Relationship of ventricular ectopy to nocturnal oxygen desaturation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
John W. Shepard,Michael W. Garrison,Debra A. Grither,Robert G. Evans,Paula Klingenberg Schweitzer +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that nocturnal hypoxemia, if of sufficient magnitude, is capable of increasing ventricular ectopy during sleep in a substantial number of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, statin therapy, and risks of atrial fibrillation: an exploratory analysis of the JUPITER trial
TL;DR: Within the JUPITER trial cohort of individuals selected for underlying inflammation, increasing levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were associated with an increased risk of incident AF and random allocation to rosuvastatin significantly reduced that risk.
