We have report one hundred cases of chronic pulmonary heart observed between 1982 and 1991. Mean age was 63 years, 61% were men. COPD was the most frequent etiology of CP (84%) before restrictive (14%) and thromboembolic diseases (2%). Diuretics were used in all patients, nifedipine in 32% and digitalis in 16%. Eleven patients died during their first admission, and six died later. Only 31 patients are still regularly.
