I have a mild lung disease. If there is a problem with my lungs, will it affect my heart health?

    Lung problems can affect the heart. When the lips die, the heart is the first to be hit. Once there is inflammation in the lungs, the area of gas exchange is reduced, the function is reduced, the partial pressure of blood oxygen is reduced, carbon dioxide is retained, and the pulmonary capillary pressure is increased and the pulmonary artery pressure is increased. Both of these can increase the burden on the heart and induce heart failure.
