Tunisia80 participantsStarted 2022-01-03

Plain-language summary

Left ventricular failure (LVF) is a common cause of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This association is frequently underestimated with regard to the difficulty of clinical diagnosis . The investigators expect that the application of pressure support under NIV could be useful in this issue.
