Why the study?
Is the risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure increased in individuals with asthma, COPD, and asthma-COPD overlap?
Is the risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure increased in individuals with asthma, COPD, and asthma-COPD overlap?
Individuals with obstructive airway diseases (asthma, COPD, ACO) have an increased risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure, highlighting the need for systematic cardiovascular risk assessment.
Risks of coronary heart disease and heart failure were increased in asthma, COPD and ACO. In asthma, the risk of coronary heart disease depended on presence of allergy. We suggest that cardiovascular risk factors should be assessed systematically in individuals with obstructive airway disease with the potential to facilitate targeted treatments.
