What is COPD associated with? Choose all that are correct ( more than one answer) A. increased blood pressure on the right side of the heart. B. heart failure C. Pneumonia D. blood clots in the lungs
COPD is a disease main symptom is that less air flow in and out of the airways. This is usually due to the air sacs losing their elastic quality or that the airways make more mucous than is needed. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD.
Therefore I would conclude that it is associated with Pneumonia. Pneumonia is the infection of the lungs which is usually caused by viruses or bacteria. You could say COPD is associated with it because once air-sacks get weak and lose their elasticity and function, it makes it easy for the lung to get infected.
