Patient's question:
My leader suddenly passed away, he suffered from cor pulmonale. Hello doctor, what are the symptoms of late-stage cor pulmonale before death?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, it's a pleasure to clarify this for you. Cor pulmonale is also known as pulmonary heart disease. As the name suggests, it is a heart disease caused by lung disease. It is generally common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), often caused by smoking, which then leads to myocardial expansion and repeated heart failure: edema, slowed heart rate, cough, chest tightness, and ultimately cardiac sudden death. Therefore, it's important to take good care of yourself and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
