What "increased" hemodynamic value in Chronic Bronchitis  suggests the patient has Cor Pulmonale

In Chronic Bronchitis, an "increased" hemodynamic value that suggests the patient has Cor Pulmonale is pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). Cor Pulmonale is a condition characterized by right-sided heart failure due to long-term lung disease, such as Chronic Bronchitis. When the lungs are affected by chronic inflammation and obstruction, it can lead to increased resistance in the pulmonary arteries, causing the right side of the heart to work harder to pump blood into the lungs. This increased workload on the right side of the heart can result in elevated pulmonary artery pressure. Therefore, if a patient with Chronic Bronchitis has an "increased" PAP, it may indicate the presence of Cor Pulmonale.
