Carbimazole and exercise tolerance in chronic airflow obstruction.
Ten patients with severe dyspnoea and chronic airflow obstruction entered a randomised double-blind crossover trial comparing the effect of carbimazole 80 mg daily for two months with that of placebo. Assessment of thyroid function, lung function, and exercise tolerance was performed monthly. The mean free thyroxine index after two months of carbimazole was significantly lower at 64.1 (+/- 10.5...
متن کاملEffects of digoxin on exercise capacity and right ventricular function during exercise in chronic airflow obstruction.
We evaluated 12 patients with stable chronic airflow obstruction (CAO) and no clinical evidence of left ventricular disease to determine the effects of oral digoxin on exercise capacity (VO2 max) and on right ventricular pump function during exercise. In this randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, cross-over study, patients performed exercise tests and underwent measurement of ejection f...
متن کاملAspects of chronic airflow obstruction.
This report questions several commonly used definitions and commonly accepted concepts. It suggest that the term, "chronic airflow obstructions," should replace the terms, "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease," "chronic obstructive lung disease," or "chronic airway obstruction," because it is flow that is obstructed. It is suggested the term, "chronic mucous hypersecretion," be used, rather t...
متن کاملSmoking, asthma, chronic airflow obstruction and COPD.
Cigarette smoking is the most prevalent risk factor for the development of adult-onset respiratory diseases associated with airflow obstruction, namely emphysema and chronic bronchitis, commonly called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Regrettably, childhood asthma does not reduce the likelihood of initiation of smoking [1] but it is not fully clear how smoking impacts pre-existing ...
متن کاملThe body-mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by an incompletely reversible limitation in airflow. A physiological variable--the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)--is often used to grade the severity of COPD. However, patients with COPD have systemic manifestations that are not reflected by the FEV1. We hypothesized that a multidimensional grading system t...
