Why the study?
Is pulmonary function decline associated with increased 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease in healthy adults?
Is pulmonary function decline associated with increased 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease in healthy adults?
Pulmonary function decline is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, suggesting its potential utility in cardiovascular risk prediction.
May support pulmonary function in cardiovascular risk stratification; extends observational data but requires prospective validation.
In both genders from an adult general Italian population, pulmonary function decline is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. These results suggest that pulmonary monitoring could be useful to more accurately predict cardiovascular risk.
