"Heart failure caused by lung disease is well documented in patients with severe COPD, but was not thought to occur in patients with mild COPD," said Graham Barr, MD, Dr PH, assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center, an internist at NewYork-Presbyte...
Heart failure (HF) represents a global pandemic health problem with a high impact on health-care costs, affecting about 26 million adults worldwide. The overall HF prevalence and incidence are ~2% and ~0.2% per year, respectively, in Western countries, with half of the HF population with red...
One difference between asthma and COPD is that the airway obstruction of patients who have asthma is more likely to quickly respond to an inhaled bronchodilator medication (such as albuterol, also called salbutamol). Amongst individuals who have asthma, the majority of asthma is mild and intermitten...
Results demonstrated independent associations between COPD and increased likelihood for ischemic heart disease, HF, atrial fibrillation and peripheral vascular disease;asthmaand increased likelihood for ischemic heart disease; andinterstitial lung diseaseand increased lik...
Lung function and cardiovascular disease: A linkCOPDCardiovascular diseaseHeart failureRestrictive lung diseaseRisk factorsThe relationship between lung and heart diseases has long been recognized, with necropsy studies demonstrating silent myocardial infarctions or coronary artery calcification in patients with ...
Patients with comorbidities have a higher risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2, the most common being COPD, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer (Table 2). Further, among COVID-19 positive patients the incidence of comorbidities was found to be higher in males compared to females (Table 2). ...
As can be seen in Fig. 2b, the age-gene expression association is evident for these two genes and there is no apparent difference between male (blue) and female (red). The scatter plots of the top 100 age-associated genes in all seven tissues are provided in Supplementary Data S2. ...
Moreover, fatty liver and metabolic abnormality are associated with multi-organ diseases including extra-hepatic carcinoma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and sarcopenia. This article reviewed the relationships between MAFLD and multi-organ disease. 1.2. The Momentum for the Nomenclature ...
Postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between the IMT and usual care group with the odds ratio (OR). Differences in nominal variables between the IMT group and the usual care group were tested with the Pearson χ2 test. Duration of postoperative hospitalization and mechanical ventilation...
