Summary:[...]echocardiography data in COPD patients are incomplete and rare, which invited further exploration into this field of research. [...]it becomes mandatory to assess the cardiac remodeling status in COPD. [...]a new interventional and management protocol may be postulated to redefine the clinical outcome and course of the disease. [...]it was not the case in the control group which revealed the kind of stress which is acquired during the high pressure hampering compensatory mechanism to operate inadvertently. [...]our findings are in agreement with many other studies in which there was no RV enlargement despite impending pulmonary artery pressures.
