Hi,

I am sad you have end stage COPD. It is the disease of the lungs. As the disease progresses, it affects the right side of the heart and leads to the failure of that part of the heart.

I would suggest my patients consult a physician or a cardiologist for evaluation before you conclude your self with some CHF. Take their opinion discuss with them. As you say that you have a history of CHF in both sides of the family, it increases the risk but I still recommend you to consult a cardiologist for better understanding the risk as the evaluate you for that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
