Abstract :

BACKGROUND=Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease presents as an immense and a serious global public health problem all over the world.Most of the increased mortality associated with COPD . Electrocardiography and Echocardiography provide a rapid, non–invasive,portable and an accurate method to evaluate the effective functioning of the cardiovascular system. AIMS& OBJECTIVE= To study the various changes on Electrocardiography & electrocardiogram with its correlation with severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. MATERIAL & METHO=DThis study was conducted during the period from November 2012 to October 2013. It included Ninety Five (95) adult indoor patients, with COPD. The diagnosis of COPD was made as per the guidelines by Global Institute for Chronic Obstructive Lung disease (GOLD) .All of the patients had undergone clinical examination and the investigations including 2D ECHO & ECG. RESULT=in this study44% of the patients had ECG evidence of right ventricular hypertrophy .Incomplete RBBB was found in 18.18% of the patients with RVH. 48% of the patients in the study had P pulmonale.Also, Pulmonary hypertension was seen in 56% of the patients in the present study54% of the patients had echocardiography evidence of corpulmonale. CONCLUSION=Statistically significant correlation with severity was found in the incidence among ECG and Echocardiography findings
