Pitfalls inDiagnosis
Critical Steps Not toMiss
• It is imperative to consider the diagnosis, especially early in the course of the
disease when the symptoms may be non-specic and subtle. Interventions
such as smoking cessation can help to slow and stop the progression of disease
if instituted early in the course.
• It is imperative to consider to alternative diagnoses, such as lung cancer and
congestive heart failure.

18 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Mimics
• Any disease that causes dyspnea can mimic COPD.
• Early COPD can sometimes be confused with atypical angina, as COPD, like
angina, can cause chest tightness and dyspnea. Smoking is a signicant risk
factor for both diseases.
• Early in the course it is easily mimicked by asthma (although asthma has
reversible airow obstruction and COPD has irreversible airow
obstruction).
• Later in the course, COPD can mimic CHF, lung cancer with airway obstruction, bronchiectasis, pulmonary brosis, and other disorders causing dyspnea
and cough.
Time-Dependent Interventions
• COPD cannot be reversed, so it is important to initiate treatment as early as
possible to try and prevent progression of symptoms and pathology.
• Smoking cessation is critically important to these patients. It is also very
difcult and may require a multi-modal treatment approach that includes
pharmacologic and behavioral interventions.
293
Overall Principles ofTreatment
• Therapy for compensated COPD involves numerous modalities including:
oxygen therapy when indicated, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, reducing
mucous secretion, smoking cessation, and pulmonary rehabilitation.
• Oxygen therapy in chronically hypoxic patients reduces mortality. The goal is
to keep the PaO2 ≤60 mmHg of oxygen saturation ≥90 % at rest. The generally accepted criteria for oxygen therapy are: PaO2 ≤55 mmHg, an oxygen
saturation of ≤88 % on room air, or a PaO2 of 56–59 mmHg in the presence
of pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, and polycythemia.
• Bronchodilator therapy does not affect the progression of the disease, but it
can provide symptomatic relief and control and reduce exacerbations.
Bronchodilator therapy also can improve quality of life. Patients would typically be maintained on long-acting inhaled beta agonists such as salmeterol
and formoterol. Short-acting beta agonists such as albuterol are usually
reserved for symptom control and for use during acute exacerbations. Inhaled
anticholinergics (ipratropium) also cause bronchodilatation. The use of
inhaled beta agonists combined with an inhaled anticholinergic improves
FEV1 and symptoms better than either of these alone.

294
• Systemic corticosteroids can be useful in helping to control acute exacerbations, but most authorities don’t recommend their long-term use. Only about
20–30 % of patients will note any improvement with the use of oral steroids.
Some patients may improve with the use of inhaled steroids, especially those
with an FEV1 <50 % of predicted.
• The only measures shown to help with mucous handling are adequate hydration and room humidication. Antitussives, antihistamines, and decongestants are all drying agents, and their use should be limited. Mucolytics and
expectorants are of no clear benet.
• Smoking cessation is the only intervention proven to reduce the rate of disease progression. Smoking cessation also reduces mortality. A multi-modal
approach is often necessary and may include both pharmacologic and behavioral therapies.
• Pulmonary rehabilitation can increase exercise tolerance and improve quality
of life, and is indicated for moderate-to-severe COPD.
• It is important that patients with COPD receive a pneumococcal vaccine, and
also receive yearly inuenza vaccination.
C. J. Rees et al.
Disease Course
• COPD is a chronic, slowly progressive disease. It is marked by periods of
relative stability interrupted by acute exacerbations, and a slow, steady decline
in lung function.
• The frequency of exacerbations is a surrogate marker for disease progression.

Name andSynonyms
Cor Pulmonale; Right Heart Failure; Pulmonary Heart Disease
Incidence/Epidemiology
• The true incidence and prevalence of cor pulmonale are unknown, as there are no
standard diagnostic guidelines, and no denitive diagnostic tests for this
condition.
• COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) causes about half of all cases
of cor pulmonale in North America. Up to one-third of patients with COPD will
develop cor pulmonale at some point during the course of their illness.
• Up to 20% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will develop cor
pulmonale.
• Pulmonary vascular disorders (primary pulmonary hypertension, chronic thromboembolic disease, and scleroderma lung disease) are rare diseases, but cor pulmonale is a common end-stage complication of these diseases.

• Interstitial lung diseases (ILD), especially idiopathic pulmonary brosis (IPF),
often lead to cor pulmonale.
C. J. Rees et al.
Differential Diagnosis
• The differential diagnosis of cor pulmonale is broad, and encompasses all diseases that present with dyspnea, fatigue, and exercise intolerance, such as COPD,
asthma, PE, CHF, acute and chronic coronary syndromes, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary vascular diseases, among many others.
• Also, cor pulmonale does not exist in isolation; it occurs as a complication of
other disease processes with the common denominator being the presence of
signicant pulmonary hypertension.
• It is important in the differential diagnosis of these patients to consider worsening of the underlying disease as a cause of worsening dyspnea.
• It is also important to evaluate these patients for left heart failure from cardiac
causes.
Pathophysiology andEtiology
• Cor pulmonale is dened as an alteration in the structure and function of the right
ventricle in the presence of underlying chronic lung disease.
• Right-sided heart failure that results from left heart failure is not considered cor
pulmonale.
• Cor pulmonale is triggered by the development of pulmonary hypertension.
• There are many diseases that can lead to pulmonary hypertension, and subsequently cor pulmonale. These are reviewed in the section on pulmonary
hypertension.
• Pulmonary hypertension (either acutely or chronically) causes changes in right
ventricular structure (dilatation with or without hypertrophy) and function
(decreased contractility). If present chronically, pulmonary hypertension causes
the pulmonary vascular bed to undergo vasoconstriction, remodeling, brosis,
and ultimately destruction. This leads to further increases in pulmonary artery
pressure (the normal PA pressure is about 15mm Hg), increasing the work of the
RV to pump against higher pressures (increased RV afterload), leading to
decreases in left ventricular lling and cardiac output, but usually with
preservation of left ventricular ejection fraction.
• Chronic cor pulmonale is a chronic, slowly progressive condition that leads to
worsening pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, and dilatation.
• Cor pulmonale can also occur acutely, in the absence of right ventricular hypertrophy. A large pulmonary embolism can cause acute increase in right ventricular

and pulmonary artery pressure, leading to right ventricular dilatation and
failure.

Presentation
Typical/“Classic”
• Dyspnea is the most common symptom of cor pulmonale. As many of these
patients have signicant underlying pulmonary disease, they often note a
worsening of chronic dyspnea.
• Other symptoms often attributed to cor pulmonale include:
• dyspnea on exertion
• fatigue
• lethargy
• exertional syncope
• exertional angina (even in the absence of coronary artery disease)
• Abdominal pain, ascites, and peripheral edema are also frequently seen in
patients with cor pulmonale. These are related more to the left heart changes
caused by cor pulmonale.
• Patients often present with worsening dyspnea, often with worsening edema and
ascites. They will likely exhibit some degree of hypoxia.
Atypical
• Patients with no history of underlying pulmonary disease may present with acute
cor pulmonale.
• These patients usually will have profound dyspnea and be hypoxemic and hypotensive. The most common cause for this will be a large, central pulmonary
embolism.
Primary Differential Considerations
• The primary differential diagnoses for cor pulmonale are pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, constrictive pericarditis, and biventricular heart
failure.

History andPhysical Exam
Findings That Conrm Diagnosis
• There are no historical or physical examination ndings that are pathognonomic
for cor pulmonale, as many of the symptoms and signs of right heart failure are
shared with left heart failure. These symptoms and signs include dyspnea,
tachypnea, hypoxia, elevated jugular venous distension, hepatomegaly, and
peripheral edema.
Factors That Suggest Diagnosis
• A patient with a history of known, chronic pulmonary disease, and who presents
with worsening dyspnea, is a primary candidate for this diagnosis. However, it is
important to remember that there are many other causes of worsening dyspnea in
these patients (pneumonia, CHF, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, profound
anemia, and others).
• Physical exam ndings that suggest the diagnosis include:
• A right ventricular third heart sound.
• Prominent v-waves in the jugular venous pulse. This results from acute tricus-
pid regurgitation.

• A right ventricular heave at the left sternal border.
• Carvallo’s Sign is an increase in the intensity of the holosystolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation upon inspiration. This can often be noted with acute cor
pulmonale. This nding becomes less apparent as right ventricular failure
worsens.
• Central and peripheral cyanosis can be noted, but they are often late signs.
• Patients with end-stage cor pulmonale often have signs of cardiogenic shock
such as hypotension, tachycardia, decreased urine output, and peripheral and
central cyanosis.
Factors That Exclude Diagnosis
• Cor pulmonale cannot be diagnosed in the presence of left heart failure.

Ancillary Studies
Laboratory
• There are no laboratory studies that are specic for cor pulmonale.
• B-type natriuretic peptide levels should be checked, as they will be elevated.
These levels will also be elevated in left heart failure, so they cannot help to
distinguish between left heart failure and right heart failure.
• It is helpful to send routine laboratory studies, such as basic chemistries, a complete blood count, thyroid function, and cardiac biomarkers, to evaluate for other
causes for the patient’s symptoms.
Electrocardiography
• The ECG in cor pulmonale and severe pulmonary hypertension can show a right
axis deviation, right ventricular hypertrophy, right atrial enlargement (p
pulmonale), and a right bundle branch block. These ECG changes are almost
always present in pulmonary hypertension, but can also be present in many other
disease states ( they are specic but not sensitive).
