There has been analysis of interconnection between pulmonary hypertension and the degree of severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Male patients with COPD and control group without any features of airway obstruction were included in the research. There was a complex exploration of all patients: clinical evaluation of complaints and anamnesis, physical and instrumental examination and laboratory tests. The influence of progression of pulmonary hypertension on the COPD’ severity, quantity of recrudescences and hospitalizations, demand of Short-acting Beta2-agonists were analyzed. Moreover, main functional rates of airway obstruction (volume of forced exhalation in 1 second and modified Tiffeneau index) were analyzed too. Authentic statistical connection between rates of caridorespiratory function of lungs and the level of pulmonary hypertension of patients with COPD was defined. It is occurred actually clear with severe and extremely severe degree of COPD. There is an indication of increase of the quantity COPD’ recrudescences and hospitalizations as the pulmonary hypertension will be progressing.
