Systemic inflammation in COPD : effects on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasingly recognised to be heterogeneous and complex, with several extra-pulmonary manifestations, necessitating categorisation of patients in order to better tailor treatments towards distinct phenotypes. Cardiovascular disease and peripheral skeletal muscle dysfunction are amongst the most important comorbidities in COPD, with systemic inflammation proposed as a...
