Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Nationwide Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a higher risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) than individuals without COPD; however, longitudinal evidence is lacking.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a higher risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) than individuals without COPD; however, longitudinal evidence is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the risk of IHD between COPD and control cohorts using a longitudinal nationwide database. METHODS: We used 2009–2017 data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort (NHIS-NSC). Adult participants at least 20 years of age who underwent health examinations and without a history of COPD or IHD were included (n = 540,976). Participants were followed from January 1, 2009, until death, development of IHD, or December 31, 2019, whichever came first. RESULTS: At baseline, there were 3,421 participants with incident COPD and 537,555 participants without COPD. During a median of 8.0 years (5.3–9.1 years) of follow-up, 2.51% of the participants with COPD (n = 86) and 0.77% of the participants without COPD (n = 4,128) developed IHD, with an incidence of 52.24 and 10.91 per 10,000 person-years, respectively. Participants with COPD had a higher risk of IHD (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.25–1.93) than subjects without COPD. Demographics such as age, sex, body mass index, and personal health behaviors including smoking status and physical activity did not show significant interaction with the relationship between COPD and IHD (P for interaction > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that COPD is associated with the development of IHD independent of demographic characteristics and health-related behaviors. Based on these results, clinicians should closely monitor the onset of IHD in subjects with COPD.
