Abstract Background Left heart failure (LHF) is commonly associated with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) but its role is often underestimated. Aim of study To evaluate the performance of a new diagnostic technique based on the measurement of the pulse amplitude r...
