Cor pulmonale can be caused by three major categories of diseases
Cor pulmonale is commonly known as pulmonary heart disease, and people also widely know it as a serious illness, so many people are afraid of cor pulmonale. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand that there are three major categories of diseases that can cause cor pulmonale. The first is bronchial and lung diseases, the second is pulmonary vascular diseases, and the third is thoracic movement disorder diseases.
Cor pulmonale pathogen: pulmonary tuberculosis
It is widely known that pulmonary tuberculosis can cause cor pulmonale, but this is actually only one of the pathogens in the bronchial and lung disease category that cause cor pulmonale. Among this type of disease, the most terrifying is chronic bronchitis complicated by obstructive emphysema, which accounts for 80% to 90% of cor pulmonale pathogens. Therefore, this category of disease is also the main pathogen of cor pulmonale. Following chronic bronchitis complicated by obstructive emphysema are bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, severe pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, chronic diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, sarcoidosis, allergic alveolitis, eosinophilic granuloma, etc.
Pulmonary vascular diseases that cause cor pulmonale are rare, mainly extensive or recurrent multiple pulmonary arteriolar embolism, pulmonary arteriolitis, and primary pulmonary hypertension of unknown cause, all of which easily lead to narrowing and obstruction of pulmonary arterioles, causing increased pulmonary vascular resistance, pulmonary hypertension, and increased right ventricular load, thereby causing cor pulmonale.
Cor pulmonale pathogen: chronic bronchitis combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Thoracic movement disorder diseases, because they are rare, are also rare pathogens of cor pulmonale. This category of diseases mainly includes severe kyphosis, scoliosis, spinal tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, extensive pleural adhesion, severe thoracic or spinal deformity caused by thoracic surgery, etc., which compress the heart due to movement disorders and form cor pulmonale. This category also includes neuromuscular disorders, such as poliomyelitis, which can lead to restricted thoracic movement and intrapulmonary compression, bronchial distortion or deformation, etc., and may also cause infection, etc., ultimately causing cor pulmonale.
