The link between COPD and undiagnosed cardiovascular disease
In today's podcast, Associate Professor Martin MacDonald examines the interplay between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease, emphasizing the high rates of undiagnosed cardiovascular issues in COPD patients.
He highlights studies showing an increased risk of cardiovascular events regardless of traditional risk factors and urges clinicians to proactively assess cardiovascular health when managing COPD. MacDonald advocates for non-invasive diagnostic tools and a shift in treatment strategies that integrate cardiovascular care into COPD management.
This podcast was recorded live at the Monash Lung and Sleep Institute: COPD, Interstitial lung diseases, upper airway pathologies and occupational lung diseases State of the Art Symposium in Melbourne.
