Physiological consequences of PH in COPD

  • Worsening of blood gas exchanges
  • Right ventricular dysfunction

– Usually RV systolic function is normal at rest in patients with COPD

  • Peripheral edema

– RV failure – CO2 induces a decrease in renal blood flow

Survival

Months m PAP ≥ 25 mm Hg m PAP < 25 mm Hg P < 0.001

  • Dyspnea on exertion
  • Exercise limitation
  • Survival

Diagnosis strategy (1)

  • Dyspnea on exertion
  • Physical signs of PH
  • Prediction of mean PAP from pulmonary

function data

  • 6-min walk distance
  • B-type natriuretic peptide

  • Doppler echocardiography

– Estimation of systolic Pap with continuous Doppler well correlated with catheterization measurement (0.60-0.85)

  • 374 lung transplant

candidates, 68 % COPD

  • Prevalence of PH

(systolic Pap> 45 mm Hg) was 25 %

  • Inaccurate > 10 mm Hg

Doppler echocardiography

  • However

– The goals are to exclude an associated left heart disease and to raise suspicion of PH – These objectives can be achieved with the combination of

  • Estimation of RV systolic pressure
  • Measurement of pulmonary blood flow velocity
  • Right-side chamber size
  • Indices of right ventriclar dysfunction

Chronic Lung Disease in stable state

Most commonly COPD History, Symptoms, Signs Chest radiograph Spirometry, ABG Unexplained severity of CRF

  • r signs of PH
  • r signs of chronic heart failure

Doppler echocardiography

Technically adequate study Technically inadequate study

Evidence

  • f CHF

Severe increased systolic PAP depending of the airflow limitation

Static lung volumes, DLCO HRCT, V/Q scan Sleep study Exercise testing

RHC

ACE inhibitor and other treatments of CHF if needed Treatments of an

diseases e.g. COPD and sleep apnea syndrome

Elevated PWP Out of proportion PH

Treatment of an associated DHF Send to a PAH referral centre No No PH or proportionate PH Yes

Treatment: LTOT

  • LTOT, MRC and NOT trials

– LTOT improve survival in COPD patients with severe chronic hypoxemia – LTOT stabilises, or at least attenuates, and sometimes reverses, the progression of PH

  • In one study mean PAP increases before the
  • nset of LTOT and decreases after the initiation
  • f LTOT

Conclusions

  • Diagnosis strategy

– Determine the impact of the pulmonary vascular impairment in COPD patients on clinical end points – Search for an associated condition

  • Treatment

– Treat the underlying disease (s) – Correct severe hypoxemia – Pulmonary vasodilators are deleterious – Lung transplantation
