World COPD Day: understanding cardiopulmonary risk in patients with COPD

World COPD Day is a global event aimed at raising awareness and understanding of COPD. This meeting will highlight the critical link between the lungs and heart and the importance of managing cardiopulmonary risk in COPD. It will aim to emphasise the importance of measuring lung function; particularly through respirometry; which is a key tool for diagnosing and monitoring COPD. Discussions will also cover how HCPs can take a holistic approach to COPD management; including pharmacological interventions and a range of non-pharmacological interventions; which may improve patient outcomes.
