Impaired systemic vascular reactivity & raised high-sensitivity C reactive protein levels in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: Background & objectives:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by slowly progressive airflow limitaion, chronic lung inflammation and associated systemic manifestations. The objective of this preliminary study was to investigate the levels of high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs CRP) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) as markers of systemic inflammation and assessment of systemic vascular reactivity that may play an important role in development of cardiovascular disease in COPD pat… Show more

“…Baroreceptor sensitivity must be controlled in Insulinresistant patients to reduce the chances of morbidity of cardiovascular conditions. 32 IR is the major driver of cardiovascular diseases in obese and non-obese groups which refers to the fact that diabetic patients have higher chances of being affected by cardiovascular disease. Preobese period and post-obese period both include the risks of cardiovascular conditions among diabetes patients if the Insulin level is not within the desired level.…”
