Prophylactic function of excellent compliance with LTOT in the development of pulmonary hypertension due to COPD with hypoxemia
The long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been shown to increase survival in patients with severe resting hypoxemia. The adherence to LTOT may also simultaneously affect the development of concomitant pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to COP...
