Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 799-808, April 2025.Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.
