Obstructive Airway Disease is Associated with Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk Independent of Phenotype: Evidence from Two Nationwide Population-Based Studies.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), as the most common comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), has received much attention. However, robust evidence of the relationship between other obstructive airway disease (OAD) phenotypes, such as asthma, asthma-COPD overlap (ACO), and CVD risk is limited.
