Cardiovascular risk scores in patients with COPD compared to gold stage and non-COPD controls

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To determine if COPD patients have different SCORE compared to non-COPD control groups and to investigate relation of SCORE and COPD determinants. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with COPD have higher cardiovascular risk, measured by SCORE value, compared to non-COPD controls. Patients with higher level of obstruction and higher grade of disease have significantly higher SCORE result and are more likely to have a fatal CV disease in next 10 years.
