Abstract
Cor pulmonale is the traditional term for changes in the cardiovascular system resulting from the chronic hypoxia (and usually hypercapnia) of chronic lung disease leading to pulmonary hypertension (PHT). PHT is precapillary due to raised pulmonary vascular resistance, is usually mild-moderate and does not tend to progress; a subgroup of patients may develop severe PHT, disproportionate to their lung disease. These changes present with peripheral oedema.
