Subclinical atherosclerosis, airflow obstruction and emphysema: the MESA Lung Study.
Airflow obstruction is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in the general population. The affected vascular bed and contribution of emphysema to cardiovascular risk are unclear. We examined whether an obstructive pattern of spirometry and quantitatively defined emphysema were associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in the carotid, peripheral and coronary circulations. The M...
متن کاملSex differences in emphysema phenotype in smokers without airflow obstruction.
Data on sex differences in emphysema are limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We aimed to verify whether such differences also exist in smokers without airflow obstruction, weighting their influence on the relationship between emphysema and clinical features. We evaluated both clinical and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) data of 1,011 heavy smokers recruited by a lung canc...
متن کاملSevere centrilobular emphysema in a patient without airflow obstruction.
We welcome the comments of Dr. Lipworth regarding the comparison between exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and methacholine reactivity in separating doses of inhaled steroid. Our study looked at the short-term effects of administering doses, increased weekly, of inhaled beclomethasone on exhaled NO and PC20 methacholine, in a small number of asthmatic subjects. First, there are important differences in...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy in emphysema.
a parameter of raised systemic blood pressure during life. The pulmonary vasculature, ventricular weights, and the type and severity of emphysema in these patients were also studied. A group of 10 normotensive subjects and a group of 10 subjects with systemic hypertension were used as controls. The medial thickness of the internal mammary artery was significantly greater in the group of patient...
متن کاملPulsed Doppler assessment of left ventricular diastolic filling in children with left ventricular outflow obstruction before and after balloon angioplasty.
To assess left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling in children with pressure overload hypertrophy, 12 patients with LV outflow obstruction (7 with aortic valve stenosis and 5 with aortic coarctation) and 12 healthy, age-matched control subjects were examined. Each child underwent M-mode echocardiography and pulsed Doppler examination of the LV inflow. The patients with LV outflow obstruction had...
