SUMMARY:COPD Beyond the Lung Cardiff
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Links Between COPD\, Cardiovascular Disease\, Type 2 Diabetes\, and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDelivered by Tracy Kirk \n\n\n\n\n\nCOPD: More Than a Lung Disease \n\n\n\nChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is primarily known for its impact on lung function\, but did you know it is also strongly linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD)\, type 2 diabetes (T2DM)\, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)? \n\n\n\nSystemic inflammation in COPD affects the entire body\, increasing the risk of heart disease\, insulin resistance\, and sleep-disordered breathing. These comorbidities contribute to reduced quality of life and poorer patient outcomes—yet they often go unrecognised in routine care. \n\n\n\nWhat Will This Study Day Cover? \n\n\n\n\nDefining and Understanding COPD: A refresher on pathophysiology\, diagnosis and treatment\n\n\n\nThe Overspill Theory: How systemic inflammation links COPD to other diseases\n\n\n\nCardiovascular Disease in COPD: The mechanisms behind increased CVD risk and its clinical implications\n\n\n\nCOPD and Type 2 Diabetes: Exploring the inflammatory connection and the impact of a dual diagnosis\n\n\n\nObstructive Sleep Apnoea and COPD:  Recognising\, diagnosis and managing this overlap syndrome\n\n\n\nCase Studies and Practical Application: Learn how to apply this knowledge in real-world clinical practice\n\n\n\n\nWhy Attend? \n\n\n\nInteractive learning: Engage with case studies and group discussions \n\n\n\nExpand your knowledge: Understand the systemic impact of COPD and its implications for patient care \n\n\n\nEnhance patient management: Gain confidence in identifying and addressing COPD-related comorbidities \n\n\n\nStay up to date: Learn the latest evidence and best practices for integrated COPD care
