Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis co-morbidity: thromboembolic disease and coronary artery disease

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and coronary artery disease

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is defined as a chronic fibrosing interstitial disease of unknown cause, limited to the lungs, and associated with the histopathologic and/or radiologic pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP); it generally progresses into respiratory failure and death. Although progression of the disease is the most common cause of death, there are increasing reports o...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary fibrosis and atherosclerosis have many similarities at the histopathologic level. Moreover, fibrotic lung diseases exhibit systemic effects and have the potential to affect the vasculature beyond the lung. The existence of a relationship between the two, however, has not been studied. METHODS To investigate whether fibrotic lung disorders may predispose to atherosclerosis...

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Systemic Disease?

IPF is typically considered to be a lung‐limited disorder. Although the primary manifestations of IPF are pulmonary in nature, IPF is increasingly recognized as a systemic disease due to its strong ...
