Clinical factors linked with coronary artery disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Conclusion: Our data showed that hypertension, left heart failure, and lower serum HDL level were independent predictors for the presence of CAD in COPD. FEV1 and triple vessel CAD were independently associated with the survival of the patients with COPD.

Prevalence of carotid artery stenosis in Chinese patients with angina pectoris.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of CAS was not rare in China when compared with that in western countries, and the presence of CAS was weakly correlated with the extent of CAD. Screening for CAS should be recommended in Chinese patients with CAD, especially in those with one or more CAS-associated risk factors. PMID: 26793351 [PubMed]

Clinical Impact of Gensini score in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Conclusion: Our data suggest that high Gensini score in COPD was independently associated with cardiac co-morbidities such as triple vessel CAD and myocardial infarction.

Features and Outcomes of Methamphetamine Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS: Meth-APAH is a severe and progressive form of PAH with poor outcomes. Future studies should focus on mechanisms of disease and potential therapeutic considerations. PMID: 28934596 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

How we do it: evaluation of dyspnea and exercise intolerance after acute pulmonary embolism
Chest. 2022 Jul 2:S0012-3692(22)01215-6. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2022.06.036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong-term dyspnea and exercise intolerance are common clinical problems after acute PE. Unfortunately, no single test can distinguish among the range of potential pathological outcomes after PE. We illustrate a stepwise approach to post-PE evaluation that uses a hierarchical series of clinically validated diagnostic tests. The algorithm is represented by the acronym SEARCH, which stands for symptom screening, exercise testing, arterial perfusion, resting echocardiography, confirmatory chest imaging and (right) heart cat...
