Echocardiographic predictors of stress induced right ventricular diastolic dysfunction in non-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

CONCLUSION: There is a high prevalence of stress-induced RVDD in non-severe COPD patients with exertional dyspnea, free of overt cardiovascular disease. RAVI, RVWT, E/A, and E/e' ratio at rest may be used as predictors for stress RVDD and may facilitate patients' risk stratification and proper management.
