摘要: AbstractObjective: To investigate the relationship between plasma myostatin levels and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction (RVD) in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods: The study recruited 84 patients with AECOPD. Plasma was analyzed tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) < 16 mm used as main indicator for RVD.Results: were significantly higher 47 RVD than 37 ones without (P < 0.005). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that correlated TAPSE values RV myocardial performance index (p < 0.001) among patients.Conclusion: is a potential biomarker improving diagnosis
