Inflammation as Possible Mediator for the Relationship Between Lung and Arterial Function

• Yolandi van Rooyen, Aletta E Schutte, +4 authors Johannes M. van Rooyen
• Lung
• 2015

Reduced lung function is associated with a risk for the development of cardiovascular disease. This association may be due to chronic inflammation which is often present in those with reduced lung… (More)
