Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently associated with right ventricular loading and pulmonary hypertension. We aimed to evaluate a possible association between cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and adverse events in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of COPD. 120 Patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were studied between 18 months (October 2014 to March 2016). A Male preponderance was found with M: F ratio being 3:2. 35% were current smokers. In hospital mortality in group 1 was 14.3% and in group 2 was 1.9%. Thus cardiac troponin I can be taken as a marker to identify high risk patients during acute exacerbation of COPD.
