This study was designed to investigate parameters of remodeling and diastolic function of right ventricle (RV) in elderly patients with COPD. One hundred patients were observed (of them, 78 had COPD and 22 were controls). The COPD patients had structural disorders and diastolic dysfunction of RV and pulmonary hypertension. A relationship was determined between systolic and diastolic functions of RV.
