Comorbidities in COPD: Cardiovascular crossover - PODCAST

International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Medical Insider Podcast Series discusses the hot topics in the world of COPD.
Dr Richard Russell, a Consultant Chest Physician at Lymington New Forest Hospital (UK), a Senior Clinical Researcher at the University of Oxford (UK) and the founding editor of the International Journal of COPD, is joined this week by Professor David Newby, the Chair of Cardiology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, to discuss the overlap between COPD and cardiovascular disease in clinical practice.
Listen as they explore the similarities between risk factors and patient presentation, which treatments are the most effective, and how cardiologists and respiratory physicians can work together to be the best for their patients. Dr Russell will then highlight an interesting new paper on the associations between COPD and severe pulmonary hypertension, before delving into the social media hot topic of the week: mucus in the lungs.
