Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of endothelial dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.


Clinical Trial Description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. Acute exacerbations and cardiovascular diseases are the major causes of morbidity and mortality in COPD patients. According to the frequency of exacerbations, phenotype "frequent exacerbator" is defined and characterised with severe clinical course and was recognised as an increased risk for cardiovascular mortality. Recent studies considered that systemic inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of COPD and endothelial dysfunction is a suspected link between increased cardiovascular mortality and systemic inflammation in COPD patients. Endothelial dysfunction is assessed by determining flow mediated dilatation index (FMD index) or plasma markers. Previous studies have suggested the presence of endothelial dysfunction in COPD patients, as well as the deterioration of endothelial function during exacerbations of COPD. This study will, for the first time, systematically explore endothelial dysfunction in two phenotypically distinct groups of COPD patients with simultaneous assessment of endothelial function flow mediated dilatation index (FMD index) and plasma markers. ;
