Lipid Profile in Current Smokers With Copd

Abstract

BACKGROUNDAtherogenic lipid profile is one of the most important co-morbidities related to COPD. Patients with Atherogenic blood lipid profile are more prone to develop atherosclerosis and subsequently leading to CVD. Lung cancer and cardiovascular complications accounted for nearly two-thirds of all deaths during follow-up of a cohort of mild COPD patients in the Lung Health Study.The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of current smokers of COPD on Lipid Profile.
