An early onset and the rate of decline in lung function further increase CVD risk. Associations of pulmonary function with coronary artery disease are more modest and largely attenuate after accounting for other common risk factors.
1 maj 2008 · The use of ICS in stable COPD improves lung function, decreases rates of exacerbation, and seems to improve survival when combined with LABAs but must be weighed against the potential for increased vulnerability to pneumonia.
3 maj 2014 · Patients receiving prednisone had significant improvement in lung function at day 10 when compared to placebo (mean FEV 1 increase of 34% in prednisone-treated group versus 15% in placebo group, P=0.007). There was no significant difference in hospitalization rates between the two groups (21% of patients in the placebo group required ...
20 maj 2021 · Including outpatients with COPD, a recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that, compared with placebo, both low (≤ 40 mg) and high initial dosing (>100 mg) of oral corticosteroids had a lower risk of treatment failure with a low dose considered safer because a high dose had a significantly higher incidence of hyperglycemia. 8
18 paź 2023 · Prednisone, a steroid drug used to treat inflammation, can cause heart palpitations (skipped, pounding, or racing heartbeats) as well as other cardiac side effects like bradycardia (slowed heartbeats), tachycardia (rapid heartbeats), and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats).
7 lut 2019 · This work offers a novel experimental design and applies the concept of instantaneous phase to detect cardio-respiratory entrainment at elevated respiration rates, close to the resting heart...
20 sty 2020 · Studies suggest that acute decreases in lung hyperinflation at rest improves cardiac function and increases lung vascular perfusion from decompression of a compromised heart. In those studies, changes in resting oxygen uptake induced by medications, an alternative explanation for compensatory increased cardiac function, were not explored.
