Percent Emphysema, Airflow Obstruction, and Impaired Left Ventricular Filling

Abstract

In a population-based study, a greater extent of emphysema on CT scanning and more severe airflow obstruction were linearly related to impaired left ventricular filling, reduced stroke volume, and lower cardiac output without changes in the ejection fraction.
