What are the late symptoms of cor pulmonale

The occurrence of cor pulmonale is mainly due to lesions in the bronchial lung tissue or blood vessels, which leads to high pressure in the pulmonary arteries, thus causing heart disease. Common symptoms of cor pulmonale include long-term bed rest, frequent coughing and coughing up blood, and difficulty breathing.

Cor pulmonale is a disease that is very difficult to cure. Western medicine is almost ineffective. Cor pulmonale often has repeated acute exacerbations, and the condition gradually worsens with the damage to lung function. Most patients have a poor prognosis, with a mortality rate of about 10%-15%. Patients with advanced cor pulmonale often die of heart failure. Patients with cor pulmonale must prevent colds and respiratory infections, as these can aggravate their condition.

1. Patients who have been bedridden for a long time, have chronic heart failure, or have undergone surgery or childbirth may suddenly experience severe chest pain, dyspnea, or cyanosis.

2. Frequent coughing accompanied by hemoptysis.

3. Respiratory failure and pneumothorax are prone to occur.

Patients with cor pulmonale should actively prevent and treat the disease in the early stages to prevent the disease from continuing to deteriorate and prevent the expansion of lung lesions. If the lung lesions reach 30%, lung function will drop sharply, and treatment will be very troublesome and the effect will not be very good. The late-stage symptoms of cor pulmonale are often life-threatening. Family members must take good care of the patient and, if necessary, hospitalize the patient promptly for treatment.
