A 74-year-old male smoker with a history of hypertension, DM type 2, dyslipidemia, permanent AF, and chronic heart failure (HF) who was admitted due to acute cardiac decompensation. The response to treatment with diuretics was very good and the patient was discharged with a request for echocardiography and spirometry in the phase of clinical stability of his HF. Spirometry was diagnostic of a severe COPD, which was undiagnosed, so it was treated with bronchodilators. The case illustrates the problem of the underdiagnosis of COPD in patients with HF even though both diseases coexist very frequently in the same patient.Varón de 74 años, fumador, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, dislipemia, fibrilación auric...
