Cardiovascular Function in Pulmonary Emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias, have a strong influence on each other, and systemic inflammation has been considered as the main linkage between them. On the other hand, airflow limitation may markedly affect lung mechanics in terms of static and dynamic hyperinfl...
متن کاملImpact of Emphysema Heterogeneity on Pulmonary Function
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between emphysema heterogeneity in spatial distribution, pulmonary function and disease severity. METHODS AND MATERIALS We ascertained a dataset of anonymized Computed Tomography (CT) examinations acquired on 565 participants in a COPD study. Subjects with chronic bronchitis (CB) and/or bronchodilator response were excluded resulting in 190 cases with...
متن کاملCardiovascular-respiratory actions of mephentermine in mitral stenosis and its effects on pulmonary function in chronic pulmonary emphysema.
IN RECENT YEARS, numerous publications have appeared emphasizing the usefulness of mephentermine during various forms of anesthesia as a means of maintaining an adequate blood-pressure level." Lundy has employed mephentermine successfully as an effective antidote against narcotic drugs. Pharmacological studies of sympathomimetic drugs on pulmonary circulation have shown mephentermine to be a pu...
متن کاملGhrelin therapy improves lung and cardiovascular function in experimental emphysema
BACKGROUND Emphysema is a progressive disease characterized by irreversible airspace enlargement followed by a decline in lung function. It also causes extrapulmonary effects, such as loss of body mass and cor pulmonale, which are associated with shorter survival and worse clinical outcomes. Ghrelin, a growth-hormone secretagogue, stimulates muscle anabolism, has anti-inflammatory effects, prom...
متن کاملThe effects of pneumoperitoneum on lung function in pulmonary emphysema.
The treatment of chronic hypertrophic emphysema by pneumoperitoneum has received much favourable comment in recent medical literature. In several reports on small series of cases it is claimed that this manceuvre will increase vital capacity (Brackenridge and Jones, 1953; Furman and Callaway, 1950; Gaensler and Carter, 1950; Zak and Southwell, 1953),maximum breathing capacity (Gaensler and Cart...
