Supraventricular arrhythmias in patients with COPD in combination with CAD

One third of patients with COPD in combination with CAD have supraventricular arrhythmias, which are manifestations of electrical instability of the myocardium. Their underestimation can contribute to the aggravation of the course of the underlying disease. The frequency and severity of arrhythmias in patients with COPD in combination with CAD correlates with the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
