Abstract

Objective: to determine clinical features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

In both groups we registered prevalence of atypical forms of ACS debut, severity of acute heart failure (Killip class), time from symptoms onset prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as the prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias.

Results: Demographic characteristics and presence.
