dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughoutworld. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common and wellestablished complication of COPD. Therefore, the presentstudy was designed to investigate the pulmonary hypertensionfrequency of hospitalized COPD patients with the PFTparameters, demographic aspects, smoking status, and historyof use of biomass.Methodology: Subjects were chosen from the patientspresented to OPD and IPD patients in the Department of TBand Chest (Respiratory Medicine), Geetanjali Medical College,Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. The duration of study was over aperiod of six months.Results: In our study 160 total numbers of cases wereincluded. Among all cases 63.75% had exposure of tobaccosmoke and 36.25% had biomass exposure. The prevalence ofsevere pulmonary hypertension from all categorization were17.6% in cigarette cases followed by other.Conclusion: We conclude that strategies like modification ofstove design, switching over to other high-efficiency & lowemission fuels for cooking to reduce exposure risk.en_US
