DIAGNOSTIC METHODS AND TREATMENT OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN THE PATIENTS WITH COPD, CAUSES, RISK FACTORS AND

Abstract

The purpose of literature review is analytical analysis of the prevalence of myocardial infarction in the patients with
COPD. In this article there is noted significance of the subject area. There are presented detailed data about possible causes
for development of this comorbid state, described literature data about possible common pathogenic mechanisms and
risk factors. It is emphasized that cardiovascular risk increasing in the patients with COPD, with elevation of severity of
disease, growing of the exacerbation frequency. In the rather complete volume there are presented information about role
of endothelial dysfunction, chronic systemic inflammation and the system of coagulation and anticoagulation as common
pathogenic mechanisms providing development of myocardial infarction in the patients with COPD in this article
