TERZA SESSIONE L’ANZIANO CARDIOPATICO CON CO-MORBILITÀ Infarto miocardico e Broncopneumopatia Ostruttiva Daniele Bertoli
COPD • The 4th leading cause of death in the USA (behind heart desease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease) • In 1990, COPD was ranked 12th as a burden of disease; by 2020 it is projected to rank 5° • The majority of patients with COPD die from cardiovascular disorders or cancer, not respiratory disease
COPD: Definition • lung disease characterized by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible. • The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs. • The more familiar terms 'chronic bronchitis' and 'emphysema' are no longer used, but are now included within the COPD diagnosis. • COPD is not simply a "smoker's cough" but an under-diagnosed, life-threatening lung disease.
COPD: Definition • diagnosis is confirmed by spirometry • COPD should be considered in any patient who has symptoms of cough, sputum production, or dyspnea and/or a history of exposure to risk factors for the disease • Chronic cough and sputum production often precede the development of airflow limitation by many years, although not all individuals with cough and sputum production go on to develop COPD
PARAMETRI SPIROMETRICI • FEV1 o VEMS (Volume espiratorio forzato in 1 secondo) = quantità di aria emessa nel primo secondo di espirazione forzata • FVC (Capacità Vitale Forzata) = quantità massima di aria (misurata in litri) che può essere espulsa in un’espirazione forzata dopo un’ispirazione completa. • FEV1/FVC = Un valore inferiore al 70% indica un deficit ostruttivo e alta probabilità di BPCO.

Heart disease and COPD • The most common cardiac abnormalities in patients with COPD are cor pulmonale and pulmonary hypertension • The prevalence of atrial fibrillation, atherosclerosis, and CHF is also high among patients with COPD
Atherosclerosis and COPD • Although some of the association between COPD and atherosclerosis may be the result of common risk factors such as tobacco use, epidemiological evidence suggests that impaired lung function is a risk factor for increased cardiovascular death independent of tobacco use

Beta-Blockers • Patients with COPD are at increased risk of CAD, and ß-blockers play a pivotal role in the management of cardiovascular diseases. • There is a general reluctance to use these substances in patients with COPD because of an unfounded fear of inducing bronchospasm. • A large Cochrane review revealed that cardioselective beta-blockers did not adversely affect the FEV1 or induce respiratory symptoms compared with placebo, independent of the severity of the COPD. • Given the demonstrated efficacy of b -blockers in treating CAD and CHF, the benefit of these medicaments outweighs the side effects and they should not be withheld from patients with COPD

Take Home Messages • La BPCO è un fattore di rischio cardiovascolare • E’ probabile che meccanismi fisiopatologici simili, di tipo infiammatorio, siano presenti nella BPCO e nella malattia aterosclerotica • Le terapie pneumologiche più efficaci (tiotropio in particolare) sono efficaci anche per ridurre il rischio CV dei pazienti con BPCO • Le terapie cardiologiche più efficaci (statine, beta-bloccanti, inibitori RAAS) sono efficaci anche nella BPCO
