Cardiopulmonary Risk in Patients with COPD is a free, focused lunchtime webinar designed for primary care professionals managing long‑term respiratory conditions. COPD rarely exists in isolation — cardiovascular disease is one of its most significant and often overlooked comorbidities. This session explores how cardiopulmonary risk presents in everyday practice and what clinicians can do to optimise patient outcomes.
You’ll learn how COPD and cardiovascular disease interact, why cardiopulmonary risk is elevated, and how to recognise features that may indicate an alternative or co‑existing cardiac cause of worsening breathlessness. The session also covers the heightened risk of cardiovascular events following COPD exacerbations, particularly in the post‑exacerbation period, and how to apply a holistic approach to COPD review to assess and optimise both respiratory and cardiovascular risk.

- Understand how COPD and cardiovascular disease interact and why cardiopulmonary risk is high
