Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory condition that presents with varying degrees of severity and can be complicated by further comorbidities. Up to a third can also have pulmonary hypertension, which is an important risk factor associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality. The etiology of pulmonary hypertension contributes to diagnosis. Considering and identifying the type of pulmonary hypertension at the right time will influence management and outcome in patients with COPD.
