Brief Summary:

Left ventricular failure (LVF) is a common cause of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).

This association is frequently underestimated with regard to the difficulty of clinical diagnosis .

The investigators expect that Valsalva Maneuver (VM) could be useful in this issue.
