Purpose: Non-anemic iron deficiency (NAID) is common in COPD, and could induce functional/structural changes in the pulmonary vascular bed. Thus, we aimed to study, during resting and ambient oxygen conditions, the systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) changes during dobutamine stress echocard...
