Objective: To identify the effects of PRP on cardiovascular risk factors and mortality in patients with COPD. Methods: Evaluated 26 COPD patients before and after eight weeks of the start of the PRP, evaluated lung volumes by spirometry and the distance on the Walk of Six Minute Test (6MWT) and the ankle brachial index (ABI), the anthropometric and survival rate. Results: 26 patients, 76.9% (n=20) had severe COPD staging or very serious, of these. Found a significant correlation between BODE and pre PRP ABI (p = 0.03, r = -0.41) with a significant reduction of the BODE between the pre- and post-PRP (p = 0.03). There was no significant difference in cardiovascular variables: ABI, WHR, SD, HR, SBP, DBP, DC, and WHtR mVO2 between the pre- and post-PRP and functional capacity measured by the 6MWT. Conclusions: It was demonstrated reduced risk of mortality after PRP in patients with COPD.
