Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a serious global health issue that is commonly associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). The close relationship between COPD and CVD could be explained by different factors, first and foremost a chronic low-grade systemic inflammation implicated in the pathogenesis of both diseases and several stimuli enhancing the inflammatory processes and causing a mixed condition with worse outcomes than either disorder alone.
