Right heart changes in severe COPD flare-ups
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart and the lung artery work together during a severe COPD flare-up that requires hospital care. It may help doctors understand how to better manage these episodes.
