Augmenting pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : studies of ACE-inhibition and nitrate supplementation

Abstract excerpt

This thesis addresses two approaches to enhancing exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The first is by manipulation of the renin-angiotensin system through angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition to establish if this can augment the response to pulmonary rehabilitation. The second is nitrate supplementation, assessed for its effects on endurance exercise parameters. In a cross-...
