Are COPD sufferers at risk for viral cardiomyopathy?

Yes, individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) may be at increased risk for viral cardiomyopathy. The impaired lung function and systemic inflammation associated with COPD can exacerbate cardiovascular issues, making patients more vulnerable to viral infections that affect the heart. Additionally, respiratory infections can lead to exacerbations of COPD, further stressing the heart and potentially leading to complications like cardiomyopathy. It's important for COPD sufferers to monitor their heart health and consult healthcare providers for appropriate management.
