In patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have abnormal cardiac biomarkers, compared to those who do not have abnormal cardiac biomarkers and those who do not receive ventilatory support, do the abnormalities of cardiac biomarkers normalise when the patients are in stable COPD, do they reflect underlying abnormal cardiac function and do they have higher morbidity and mortality rate?
