ABSTRACT
Background:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [COPD] is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. The spectrum of cardiovascular complications associated with COPD is clearly broad, right ventricular [RV] dysfunction and pulmonary vascular disease are common in COPD and progress with time. In RV failure, cardiac Troponins [cTn] are suspected to be elevated secondary to RV ischemia or micro infarction
