Tunisia401 participantsStarted 2022-03-01

Plain-language summary

Acute Heart failure (AHF) 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 the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (ΔIVC)could be useful in this issue.
