Abstract

The relationships between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction have been the subject of debate for several decades. Improved techniques to assess LV function have recently clarified this subject [1]. In the absence of an associated cause of left cardiopathy, the left ventricle of a COPD patient must be considered as normal [1].
