Chest 2024:S0012-3692(24)05078-5. [PMID: 39209063 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.08.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) are often considered interchangeable in identifying restrictive impairment in spirometry. RESEARCH QUESTION Do PRISm and RSP have different individual associations with risk factors, morbidity, and mortality? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In a cross-sectional and longitudinal study, including 26,091 Norwegian general population men (30 to 46 years of age), we explored the association of PRISm and RSP with smoking habits, BMI, education, respiratory symptoms, self-reported cardiopulmonary disease, and mortality after 26 years of follow-up. PRISm was defined as FEV1/FVC ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN) and FEV1 < LLN, and RSP was defined as FEV1/FVC ≥ LLN and FVC < LLN. We compared the associations of PRISm and RSP to airflow obstruction and normal spirometry, both as mutually (PRISm alone, RSP alone) and nonmutually exclusive (PRISm, RSP) categories, adjusting for age, BMI, smoking, and education. We also conducted sensitivity analyses using Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease criteria to define spirometric abnormalities. RESULTS The prevalence of the mutually exclusive spirometric patterns was as follows: normal 82.4%, obstruction 11.0%, PRISm alone 1.4%, RSP alone 1.7%, and PRISm + RSP 3.5%. PRISm alone patients were frequently obese (11.2%), had active or previous tobacco use, commonly reporting cough, phlegm, wheeze, asthma, and bronchitis. RSP alone patients were both obese (14.6%) and underweight (2.9%), with increased breathlessness, but similar smoking habits to patients with normal spirometry. The prevalence of heart disease was 4.6% in PRISm alone, 2.7% in RSP alone, and 1.6% in obstruction. With normal spirometry as a reference, RSP alone had increased all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 1.57; 95% CI, 1.21-2.04), cardiovascular (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 0.88-2.48), diabetes (HR, 6.43; 95% CI, 1.88-21.97), and cancer (excluding lung) mortality (HR, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.95-2.42). PRISm alone had increased respiratory disease mortality (HR, 4.00; 95% CI, 1.22-13.16). Patients with PRISm + RSP had intermediate characteristics and the worst prognosis. Findings were overall confirmed with nonmutually exclusive categories and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease criteria. INTERPRETATION PRISm and RSP are spirometric patterns with distinct risk factors, morbidity, and mortality, which should be differentiated in future studies.

Abstract
RATIONALE Lung function in early adulthood is associated with subsequent adverse health outcomes. OBJECTIVES To ascertain whether stable and reproducible lung function trajectories can be derived in different populations and investigate their association with objective measures of cardiovascular structure and function. METHODS Using latent profile modelling, we studied three population-based birth cohorts with repeat spirometry data from childhood into early adulthood to identify trajectories of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC). We used multinomial logistic regression models to investigate early-life predictors of the derived trajectories. We then ascertained the extent of the association between the derived FEV1/FVC trajectories and blood pressure and echocardiographic markers of increased cardiovascular risk and stroke in ~3200 participants at age 24 years in one of our cohorts. RESULTS We identified four FEV1/FVC trajectories with strikingly similar latent profiles across cohorts (pooled N=6377): above average (49.5%); average (38.3%); below average (10.6%); and persistently low (1.7%). Male sex, wheeze, asthma diagnosis/medication and allergic sensitisation were associated with trajectories with diminished lung function in all cohorts. We found evidence of an increase in cardiovascular risk markers ascertained by echocardiography (including left ventricular mass indexed to height and carotid intima-media thickness) with decreasing FEV1/FVC (with p values for the mean crude effects per-trajectory ranging from 0.10 to p<0.001). In this analysis, we considered trajectories as a pseudo-continuous variable; we confirmed the assumption of linearity in all the regression models. CONCLUSIONS Childhood lung function trajectories may serve as predictors in the development of not only future lung disease, but also the cardiovascular disease and multimorbidity in adulthood.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) commonly co-exist. Outcomes of people living with both conditions are poor in terms of symptom burden, receiving evidence-based treatment and mortality. Increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms may help to identify treatments to relieve this disease burden. This narrative review covers the overlap of COPD and CVD with a focus on clinical presentation, mechanisms, and interventions. Literature up to December 2023 are cited. AREAS COVERED 1. What is COPD 2. The co-existence of COPD and cardiovascular disease 3. Mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in COPD. 4. Populations with COPD are at risk of CVD 5. Complexity in the co-diagnosis of COPD in those with cardiovascular disease. 6. Therapy for COPD and implications for cardiovascular events and risk. 7. Cardiovascular risk and exacerbations of COPD. 8. Pro-active identification and management of CV risk in COPD. EXPERT OPINION The prospective identification of co-morbid COPD in CVD patients and of CVD and CV risk in people with COPD is crucial for optimizing clinical outcomes. This includes the identification of novel treatment targets and the design of clinical trials specifically designed to reduce the cardiovascular burden and mortality associated with COPD.

Associations of a plant-centered diet and lung function across early to mid-adulthood: The CARDIA Lung Study. Respir Res 2024; 25:122. [PMID: 38468283 PMCID: PMC10926674 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-023-02632-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung function throughout adulthood predicts morbidity and mortality even among adults without chronic respiratory disease. Diet quality may represent a modifiable risk factor for lung function impairment later in life. We investigated associations between nutritionally-rich plant-centered diet and lung function across early and middle adulthood from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. METHODS Diet was assessed at baseline and years 7 and 20 of follow-up using the validated CARDIA diet history questionnaire. Plant-centered diet quality was scored using the validated A Priori Diet Quality Score (APDQS), which weights food groups to measure adherence to a nutritionally-rich plant-centered diet for 20 beneficially rated foods and 13 adversely rated foods. Scores were cumulatively averaged over follow-up and categorized into quintiles. The primary outcome was lung function decline, including forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), measured at years 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30. We estimated the association of APDQS with annual pulmonary function changes and cross-sectional differences in a repeated measures regression model, adjusting for clinically relevant covariates. RESULTS The study included 3,787 Black and White men and women aged 18-30 in 1985-86 and followed for 30 years. In multivariable repeated measures regression models, individuals in the lowest APDQS quintile (poorest diet) had declines in FEV1 that were 1.6 ml/year greater than individuals in the highest quintile (35.0 vs. 33.4 ml/year, ß ± SE per 1 SD change APDQS 0.94 ± 0.36, p = 0.009). Additionally, declines in FVC were 2.4 ml/year greater in the lowest APDQS quintile than those in the highest quintile (37.0 vs 34.6 ml/year, ß ± SE per 1 SD change APDQS 1.71 ± 0.46, p < 0.001). The association was not different between never and ever smokers (pint = 0.07 for FVC and 0.32 for FEV1). In sensitivity analyses where current asthma diagnosis and cardiorespiratory fitness were further adjusted, results remained similar. Cross-sectional analysis at each exam year also showed significant differences in lung function according to diet after covariate adjustment. CONCLUSIONS In this 30-year longitudinal cohort study, long-term adherence to a nutritionally-rich plant-centered diet was associated with cross-sectional differences in lung function as well as slower decline in lung function, highlighting diet quality as a potential treatable trait supporting long-term lung health.

Effect of twice daily inhaled albuterol on cardiopulmonary exercise outcomes, dynamic hyperinflation, and symptoms in secondhand tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry and air trapping: a randomized controlled trial. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:44. [PMID: 38245665 PMCID: PMC10799390 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-023-02808-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry (active smoking or secondhand smoke [SHS] exposure), air trapping can identify a subset with worse symptoms and exercise capacity. The physiologic nature of air trapping in the absence of spirometric airflow obstruction remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the underlying pathophysiology of air trapping in the context of preserved spirometry and to determine the utility of bronchodilators in SHS tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry and air trapping. METHODS We performed a double-blinded placebo-controlled crossover randomized clinical trial in nonsmoking individuals at risk for COPD due to exposure to occupational SHS who had preserved spirometry and air trapping defined as either a residual volume-to-total lung capacity ratio (RV/TLC) > 0.35 or presence of expiratory flow limitation (EFL, overlap of tidal breathing on maximum expiratory flow-volume loop) on spirometry at rest or during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Those with asthma or obesity were excluded. Participants underwent CPET at baseline and after 4-week trials of twice daily inhalation of 180 mcg of albuterol or placebo separated by a 2-week washout period. The primary outcome was peak oxygen consumption (VO2) on CPET. Data was analyzed by both intention-to-treat and per-protocol based on adherence to treatment prescribed. RESULTS Overall, 42 participants completed the entire study (66 ± 8 years old, 91% female; forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1] = 103 ± 16% predicted; FEV1 to forced vital capacity [FVC] ratio = 0.75 ± 0.05; RV/TLC = 0.39 ± 0.07; 85.7% with EFL). Adherence was high with 87% and 93% of prescribed doses taken in the treatment and placebo arms of the study, respectively (P = 0.349 for comparison between the two arms). There was no significant improvement in the primary or secondary outcomes by intention-to-treat or per-protocol analysis. In per-protocol subgroup analysis of those with RV/TLC > 0.35 and ≥ 90% adherence (n = 27), albuterol caused an improvement in peak VO2 (parameter estimate [95% confidence interval] = 0.108 [0.014, 0.202]; P = 0.037), tidal volume, minute ventilation, dynamic hyperinflation, and oxygen-pulse (all P < 0.05), but no change in symptoms or physical activity. CONCLUSIONS Albuterol may improve exercise capacity in the subgroup of SHS tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry and substantial air trapping. These findings suggest that air trapping in pre-COPD may be related to small airway disease that is not considered significant by spirometric indices of airflow obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spirometric abnormalities have been related to incident heart failure in general population, who generally have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We aimed to investigate the association between spirometric indices, cardiac functions and clinical outcomes. METHODS Subjects presenting with exertional dyspnoea and received spirometry and echocardiography were eligible for this study. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)/FVC ratio were measured to define the spirometry patterns: normal (FEV1/FVC ≥ 70%, FVC ≥ 80%), obstructive (FEV1/FVC < 70%, FVC ≥ 80%), restrictive pattern (FEV1/FVC ≥ 70%, FVC < 80%) and mixed (FEV1/FVC < 70%, FVC < 80%). The diastolic dysfunction index (DDi) was the counts of the indicators, including septal e' velocity <7 cm/s, septal E/e' > 15, pulmonary artery systolic pressure > 35 mmHg and left atrial dimension >40 mm. RESULTS Among a total of 8669 participants (65.8 ± 16.3 years, 56% men), 3739 (43.1%), 829 (9.6%), 3050 (35.2%) and 1051 (12.1%) had normal, obstructive, restrictive and mixed spirometry pattern, respectively. Subjects with restrictive or mixed spirometry pattern had higher DDi and worse long-term survival than those with obstructive or normal ventilation. FVC but not FEV1/FVC was predictive of 5-year mortality, independent of age, sex, renal function, LVEF, DDi, body mass index, and comorbidities (hazard ratio, 95% confidence intervals: .981, .977-.985). Furthermore, there was an inverse nonlinear relationship between FVC and DDi, suggesting the declined FVC may mediate 43% of the prognostic hazard of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS The restrictive spirometry pattern or the declined FVC was associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, which aggravated the long-term mortality in the ambulatory dyspnoeic subjects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Progressive intravascular, interstitial, and alveolar fluid overload underlies the transition from compensated to acutely decompensated heart failure and loop diuretics are the mainstay of treatment. Adverse effects and resistance to loop diuretics received much attention while the contribution of a depressed cardiac output to diuretic resistance was downplayed. RECENT FINDINGS Analysis of experience with positive inotropic agents, especially dobutamine, indicates that enhancement of cardiac output is not consistently associated with increased renal blood flow. However, urinary output and renal sodium excretion increase likely due to dobutamine-mediated decrease in renal and systemic reduced activation of sympathetic nervous- and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Mechanical circulatory support with left ventricular assist devices ascertained the contribution of low cardiac output to diuretic resistance and the pathogenesis and progression of kidney disease in acutely decompensated heart failure. Diuretic resistance commonly occurs in acutely decompensated heart failure. However, failure to resolve fluid overload despite high doses of loop diuretics should alert to the presence of a low cardiac output state.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary and cardiac functions decline with age, but the associations of pulmonary dysfunction with cardiac function and heart failure (HF) risk in late life is not known. We aimed to determine the associations of percent predicted forced vital capacity (ppFVC) and the ratio of forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC; FEV1/FVC) with cardiac function and incident HF with preserved or reduced ejection fraction in late life. Methods and Results Among 3854 HF-free participants in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) cohort study who underwent echocardiography and spirometry at the fifth study visit (2011-2013), associations of FEV1/FVC and ppFVC with echocardiographic measures, cardiac biomarkers, and risk of HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction, and HF with reduced ejection fraction were assessed. Multivariable linear and Cox regression models adjusted for demographics, body mass index, coronary disease, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and diabetes. Mean age was 75±5 years, 40% were men, 19% were Black, and 61% were ever smokers. Mean FEV1/FVC was 72±8%, and ppFVC was 98±17%. In adjusted analyses, lower FEV1/FVC and ppFVC were associated with higher NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; both P<0.001) and pulmonary artery pressure (P<0.004). Lower ppFVC was also associated with higher left ventricular mass, left ventricular filling pressure, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (all P<0.01). Lower FEV1/FVC was associated with a trend toward higher risk of incident HF with preserved ejection fraction (hazard ratio [HR] per 10-point decrease, 1.31; 95% CI, 0.98-1.74; P=0.07) and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HR per 10-point decrease, 1.24; 95% CI, 0.91-1.70; P=0.18), but these associations did not reach statistical significance. Lower ppFVC was associated with incident HF with preserved ejection fraction (HR per 10-unit decrease, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.41; P=0.013) but not with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HR per 10-unit decrease, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.76-1.07; P=0.24). Conclusions Subclinical reductions in FEV1/FVC and ppFVC differentially associate with cardiac function and HF risk in late life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Past exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) is associated with exercise limitation. Pulmonary factors including air trapping contribute to this limitation but the contribution of cardiovascular factors is unclear. OBJECTIVE To determine the contribution of cardiovascular mechanisms to SHS-associated exercise limitation. METHODS We examined the cardiovascular responses to maximum-effort exercise in 245 never-smokers with remote, prolonged occupational exposure to SHS and no known history of cardiovascular disease. We estimated the contribution of oxygen-pulse (proxy for cardiac stroke volume) and changes in systolic blood pressures (SBP), diastolic blood pressures and heart rate (HR) towards exercise capacity, and examined whether the association of SHS with exercise capacity was mediated through these variables. RESULTS At peak exercise (highest workload completed (WattsPeak)=156±46 watts (135±33 %predicted)), oxygen consumption and oxygen-pulse (O2-PulsePeak) were 1557±476 mL/min (100±24 %predicted) and 11.0±3.0 mL/beat (116±25 %predicted), respectively, with 29% and 3% participants not achieving their predicted normal range. Oxygen saturation at peak exercise was 98%±1% and remained >93% in all participants. Sixty-six per cent showed hypertensive response to exercise. In models adjusted for covariates, WattsPeak was associated directly with O2-PulsePeak, HRPeak and SBPPeak and inversely with SHS, air trapping (residual volume/total lung capacity) and rise of SBP over workload (all p<0.01). Moreover, SHS exposure association with WattsPeak was substantially (41%) mediated through its effect on O2-PulsePeak (p=0.038). Although not statistically significant, a considerable proportion (36%) of air trapping effect on WattsPeak seemed to be mediated through O2-PulsePeak (p=0.078). The likelihood of having baseline respiratory symptoms (modified Medical Research Council score ≥1) was associated with steeper rise in SBP over workload (p<0.01). CONCLUSION In a never-smoker population with remote exposure to SHS, abnormal escalation of blood pressure and an SHS-associated reduction in cardiac output contributed to lower exercise capacity.

Abstract
RATIONALE It has been speculated that shared mechanisms underlie respiratory and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including systemic inflammation or mutual risk factors. In this context, we sought to examine the associations of CVD-related plasma proteins with lung function as measured by spirometry in a large community-based cohort of adults. METHODS The study included 5777 Framingham Heart Study participants who had spirometry and measurement of 71 CVD-related plasma proteins. The association of plasma proteins with lung function was assessed cross-sectionally and longitudinally using models accounting for familial correlations. Linear mixed models were used for the following measurements: FEV1%predicted, FVC%predicted, and FEV1/FVC ratio with secondary analyses examining obstructive and restrictive physiology at baseline and their new onset during follow up. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among the 71 CVD-related plasma proteins, 13 proteins were associated in cross-sectional analyses with FEV1%predicted, 17 proteins were associated with FVC%predicted, and 1 protein was associated with FEV1/FVC. The proteins with the greatest inverse relations to FEV1%predicted and FVC%predicted included leptin, adrenomedullin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; in contrast there were three proteins with positive relations to FEV1%predicted and FVC%predicted including insulin growth factor binding protein 2, tetranectin, and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products. In longitudinal analyses, three proteins were associated with longitudinal change in FEV1 (ΔFEV1) and four with ΔFVC; no proteins were associated with ΔFEV1/FVC. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight CVD-related plasma proteins that are associated with lung function including markers of inflammation, adiposity, and fibrosis, representing proteins that may contribute both to respiratory and CVD risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review is intended to give an overview of the epidemiology of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with impaired lung function with an emphasis on patients with COPD. RECENT FINDINGS Despite shared risk factors, lung disease is an emerging independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and cardio-vascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Both CVD and chronic lung disease contribute significantly to overall mortality. Especially patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at high risk for CVD-related mortality. In patients with chronic lung disease, a low index of suspicion should be maintained to assess for CVD and vice versa. Early detection of chronic lung disease as a potentially modifiable CVD risk factor could have important impact on patient outcomes.

Causal Relationship Between Lung Function and Atrial Fibrillation: A Two Sample Univariable and Multivariable, Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:769198.

Abstract
Background: Observational studies have identified impaired lung function accessed by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) or the ratio of FEV1 over FVC (FEV1/FVC) as an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the result may be affected by confounders or reverse causality. Methods: We performed univariable MR (uvMR), multivariable MR (mvMR) and bidirectional two-sample MR to jointly estimate the causality of lung function with AF. Apart from the inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach as the main MR analysis, three complementary sensitive analyses approaches including MR-Egger regression, weighted median (WM) MR and Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) in uvMR as well as mvMR-Egger and mvMR-PRESSO in mvMR were applied to control for pleiotropy. Linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression was applied to estimate genetic correlation between lung function and AF. Results: All forward and reverse uvMR analyses consistently suggested absent causal relations between lung function and AF risk [forward IVW: odds ratio (OR)FEV1 = 1.031, 95% CI = 0.909–1.169, P = 0.630; ORFVC = 1.002, 95% CI = 0.834–1.204, P = 0.982; ORFEV1/FVC = 1.076, 95% CI = 0.966–1.199, P = 0.182; reverse IVW: ORFEV1 = 0.986, 95% CI = 0.966–1.007, P = 0.187; ORFVC = 0.985, 95% CI = 0.965–1.006, P = 0.158; ORFEV1/FVC = 0.994, 95% CI = 0.973–1.015, P = 0.545]. The forward MR-Egger showed that each standard deviation (SD) increase in FEV1/FVC was related to a higher AF risk (OR = 1.502, 95% CI = 1.178–1.915, P = 0.006) without heterogeneity (Q_pval = 0.064), but pleiotropy effect exist (intercept = −0.017, P = 0.012). However, this significant effect disappeared after adjustment of FEV1 and FVC (OR = 1.523, 95% CI = 0.445–5.217, P = 0.503) in mvMR. No evidence was found for independent causal effects of FEV1 and FVC on AF in mvMR analysis by using mvIVW method (ORFEV1 = 0.501, 95% CI = 0.056–4.457, P = 0.496; ORFVC = 1.969, 95% CI = 0.288–13.474, P = 0.490). Notably, the association between lung function and AF were replicated using the FinnGen cohort data. Conclusions: Our findings reported no coheritability between lung function and AF, and failed to find substantial causal relation between decreased lung function and risk of AF. However, lung function and AF were both associated with inflammation, which may be potential pathway, warranting further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many of those who suffer from a first acute coronary event (CE) die suddenly during the day of the event, most of them die outside hospital. Poor lung function is a strong predictor of future cardiac events; however, it is unknown whether the pattern of lung function impairment differs for the prediction of sudden cardiac death (SCD) versus non-fatal CEs. We examined measures of lung function in relation to future SCD and non-fatal CE in a population-based study. METHODS Baseline spirometry was assessed in 28 584 middle-aged subjects, without previous history of CE, from the Malmö Preventive Project. The cohort was followed prospectively for incidence of SCD (death on the day of a first CE, inside or outside hospital) or non-fatal CE (survived the first day). A modified version of the Lunn McNeil's competing risk method for Cox regression was used to run models for both SCD and non-fatal CE simultaneously. RESULTS A 1-SD reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) was more strongly associated with SCD than non-fatal CE even after full adjustment (FEV1: HR for SCD: 1.23 (1.15 to 1.31), HR for non-fatal CE 1.08 (1.04 to 1.13), p value for equal associations=0.002). Similar associations were found for forced vital capacity (FVC) but not FEV1/FVC. The results remained significant even in life-long never smokers (FEV1: HR for SCD: 1.34 (1.15 to 1.55), HR for non-fatal CE: 1.11 (1.02 to 1.21), p value for equal associations=0.038). Similar associations were seen when % predicted values of lung function measures were used. CONCLUSIONS Low FEV1 is associated with both SCD and non-fatal CE, but consistently more strongly associated with future SCD. Measurement with spirometry in early life could aid in the risk stratification of future SCD. The results support the use of spirometry for a global assessment of cardiovascular risk.

Associations between lung function and future cardiovascular morbidity and overall mortality in a predominantly First Nations population: a cohort study. LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH-WESTERN PACIFIC 2021; 13:100188.

Abstract
Background Spirometric lung function impairment is an independent predictor of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, and mortality across a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds and environmental settings. No contemporary studies have explored these relationships in a predominantly regional/remote First Nations population, whose health outcomes are worse than for non-First Nations populations, and First Nations people living in urban centres. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of 1,734 adults (1,113 First Nations) referred to specialist respiratory outreach clinics in the state of Queensland, Australia from February 2012 to March 2020. Regression modelling was used to test associations between lung function and mortality and cardiovascular disease. Findings At the time of analysis (August 2020), 189 patients had died: 88 (47%) from respiratory causes and 38 (20%) from cardiovascular causes. When compared to patients with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) Z-scores of >0 to -1, patients with Z-scores <-1 were at elevated mortality risk (HR=3•2, 95%CI 1•4-7•4; HR=2•6, 95%CI 1•3-5•1), and elevated cardiovascular disease risk (OR=1•5, 95%CI 1•1-2•2; OR=1•6, 95%CI 1•2-2•3). FEV1/FVC% Z-scores <-1 were associated with increased overall mortality (HR=1•6, 95%CI 1•1-2•3), but not cardiovascular disease (OR=1•1, 95%CI 0•8-1•4). These associations were not affected by First Nations status. Interpretation Reduced lung function even within the clinically normal range is associated with increased mortality, and cardiovascular disease in First Nations Australians. These findings highlight the importance of lung function optimisation and inform the need for future investment to improve outcomes in First Nations populations. Funding None.

Abstract
The CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study began in 1985 to 1986 with enrollment of 5,115 Black or White men and women ages 18 to 30 years from 4 US communities. Over 35 years, CARDIA has contributed fundamentally to our understanding of the contemporary epidemiology and life course of cardiovascular health and disease, as well as pulmonary, renal, neurological, and other manifestations of aging. CARDIA has established associations between the neighborhood environment and the evolution of lifestyle behaviors with biological risk factors, subclinical disease, and early clinical events. CARDIA has also identified the nature and major determinants of Black-White differences in the development of cardiovascular risk. CARDIA will continue to be a unique resource for understanding determinants, mechanisms, and outcomes of cardiovascular health and disease across the life course, leveraging ongoing pan-omics work from genomics to metabolomics that will define mechanistic pathways involved in cardiometabolic aging.

Abstract
Background Observational studies on the general population have suggested that airflow obstruction associates with left ventricular (LV) filling. To limit the influence of environmental risk factors/exposures, we used a Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach based on common genetic variations and tested whether a causative relation between airflow obstruction and LV filling can be detected. Methods We used summary statistics from large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) measured by spirometry and the LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The primary MR was based on an inverse variance weighted regression. Various complementary MR methods and subsets of the instrument variables were used to assess the plausibility of the findings. Results We obtained consistent evidence in our primary MR analysis and subsequent sensitivity analyses that reducing airflow obstruction leads to increased inflow to the LV (odds ratio [OR] from inverse variance weighted regression 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01–1.09, P = 0.0172). Sensitivity analyses indicated a certain extent of negative horizontal pleiotropy and the estimate from biased-corrected MR-Egger was adjusted upward (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.09–1.31, P < 0.001). Prioritisation of single genetic variants revealed rs995758, rs2070600 and rs7733410 as major contributors to the MR result. Conclusion Our findings indicate a causal relationship between airflow obstruction and LV filling in the general population providing genetic context to observational associations. The results suggest that targeting (even subclinical) airflow obstruction can lead to direct cardiac improvements, demonstrated by an increase in LVEDV. Functional annotation of single genetic variants contributing most to the causal effect estimate could help to prioritise biological underpinnings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is scarcity of data on association between lung function and cardiac markers in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Meanwhile, SCD affects multi-organs in any one population. There seem to be an association between reduced pulmonary function with cardiac dysfunction. The current study examined the association between pulomanry function with cardiac markers in patients with SCD. METHODOLOGY This was a cross-sectional study with cases and controls. The cases (n=117) were made up of patients with SCD. The control subjects (n=58) were voluntary blood donors without SCD. The cellulose acetate electrophoresis was used to determine the genotypes of the study subjects. Blood samples were collected from all the study subjects for full blood count and measurement of cardiac enzymes. The cardiac enzymes measured were lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB). Lung function test, using the vitalograph was done on all the study subjects. The Global Lung Initiative criteria were used to categorize lung disease as obstruction, restriction, mixed obstruction/restriction and normal. RESULTS The prevalence of elevated CK-MB and LDH among the SCD patients was 76.92% and 9.40% respectively, higher than the non-SCD controls (51.72% and 0% for elevated CK-MB and LDH respectively). Of all the impaired lung function, lung restriction was prevalent in all the study groups (30.77% and 15.52% for SCD patients and non-SCD controls respectively). In the fully adjusted model, reduced FEV1 was associated with nearly 3.5-fold higher odds of elevated CK-MB (odds ratio 3.35, 95% CI 1.26-8.90, p-value 0.015) in individuals with SCD. CONCLUSION Reduced FEV1 which reflects airflow impairments are associated with CK-MB elevations in patients with SCD, suggesting a possible damage to the cardiomyocytes.

Lifetime Risk Factors for Pre- and Post-Bronchodilator Lung Function Decline. A Population-based Study. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2021; 17:302-312.

Abstract
Rationale: Interactions between early life and adult insults on lung function decline are not well understood, with most studies investigating prebronchodilator (pre-BD) FEV1 decline.Objectives: To investigate relationships between adult risk factors and pre- and post-BD lung function decline and their potential effect modification by early life and genetic factors.Methods: Multiple regression was used to examine associations between adult exposures (asthma, smoking, occupational exposures, traffic pollution, and obesity) and decline in both pre- and post-BD spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1], forced vital capacity [FVC], and FEV1/FVC) between ages 45 and 53 years in the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study (n = 857). Effect modification of these relationships by childhood respiratory risk factors, including low childhood lung function and GST (glutathione S-transferase) gene polymorphisms, was investigated.Results: Baseline asthma, smoking, occupational exposure to vapors/gases/dusts/fumes, and living close to traffic were associated with accelerated decline in both pre- and post-BD FEV1. These factors were also associated with FEV1/FVC decline. Occupational exposure to aromatic solvents was associated with pre-BD but not post-BD FEV1 decline. Maternal smoking accentuated the effect of personal smoking on pre- and post-BD FEV1 decline. Lower childhood lung function and having the GSTM1 null allele accentuated the effect of occupational exposure to vapors/gases/dusts/fumes and personal smoking on post-BD FEV1 decline. Incident obesity was associated with accelerated decline in FEV1 and more pronounced in FVC.Conclusions: This study provides new evidence for accentuation of individual susceptibility to adult risk factors by low childhood lung function, GSTM1 genotype, and maternal smoking.

Abstract
Activation of toll-like receptors (TLR1, TLR5, TLR6) and downstream markers (CCR1, MAPK14, ICAM1) leads to increased systemic inflammation. Our objective was to study the association between the gene expression levels of these six genes and lung function (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC). We studied gene expression levels and lung function in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study. Spirometry testing was used to measure lung function and gene expression levels were measured using the Nanostring platform. Multivariate linear regression models were used to study the association between lung function measured at year 30, 10-year decline from year 20 to year 30, and gene expression levels (highest quartile divided into two levels – 75th to 95th and>95th to 100th percentile) adjusting for center, smoking and BMI, measured at year 25. Year 30 FEV1 and FVC were lower in the highest level of TLR5 compared to the lowest quartile with difference of 4.00% (p for trend: 0.04) and 3.90% (p for trend: 0.05), respectively. The 10-year decline of FEV1 was faster in the highest level of CCR1 as compared to the lowest quartile with a difference of 1.69% (p for trend: 0.01). There was no association between gene expression and FEV1/FVC. Higher gene expression levels in TLR5 and CCR1 are associated with lower lung function and faster decline in FEV1 over 10 years, in a threshold manner, providing new insights into the role of inflammation in lung function.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the association of cigarette smoking and right ventricular (RV) systolic and diastolic functions in a population-based cohort of individuals at middle age. Methods This cross-sectional study included participants who answered the smoking questionnaire and underwent echocardiography at the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adulthood year 25 examination. RV systolic function was assessed by echocardiographic-derived tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and by right ventricular peak systolic velocity (RVS'), while RV diastolic function was evaluated by early right ventricular tissue velocity (RVE'). Multivariable linear regression models assessed the relationship of smoking with RV function, adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, alcohol consumption, pulmonary function, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and coronary artery calcium score. Results A total of 3424 participants were included. The mean age was 50±4 years; 57% were female; and 53% were black. There were 2106 (61%) never smokers, 750 (22%) former smokers and 589 (17%) current smokers. In the multivariable analysis, current smokers had significantly lower TAPSE (β=-0.082, SE=0.031, p=0.008), RVS' (β=-0.343, SE=0.156, p=0.028) and RVE' (β=-0.715, SE=0.195, p<0.001) compared with never smokers. Former smokers had a significantly lower RVE' compared with never smokers (β=-0.414, SE=0.162, p=0.011), whereas no significant difference in RV systolic function was found between former smokers and never smokers. Conclusions In a large multicenter community-based biracial cohort of middle-aged individuals, smoking was independently related to both worse RV systolic and diastolic functions.

Abstract
There are few reports investigating the relationship between bronchial asthma (BA) and heart failure (HF). We hypothesized BA may have impact on prognosis in patients with HF. Among 323 consecutive outpatients with HF, 191 patients without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were analyzed. Twenty patients had BA, most of whom (80.0%) had preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%). The use of β-blockers was less frequent (55.0% vs 83.0%. p = 0.01), systolic blood pressure (133 ± 22 vs 120 ± 17 mmHg, p = 0.003), and heart rate (83 ± 14 vs 74 ± 15 bpm, p = 0.02) were higher in patients with BA than those without BA. During median follow up of 24 months, 45 (23.6%) experienced primary outcome defined as a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, and unexpected hospitalization due to HF. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the presence of BA was independently associated with the occurrence of primary outcome (hazard ratio 3.08, 95% CI 1.42-6.71, p = 0.004). In the subgroup analysis of patients with preserved LVEF, patients with BA exhibited worse outcomes (p = 0.03 by log-rank). Patients with HF complicated by BA, most of whom had preserved LVEF, exhibited worse outcomes than those without BA.

Abstract
The relationship between lung and heart diseases has long been recognized, with necropsy studies demonstrating silent myocardial infarctions or coronary artery calcification in patients with advanced emphysema as the death cause. Improvements in non-invasive techniques and epidemiologic approaches established that lung and cardiovascular diseases frequently coexist in mid and late life. Even among those without diagnosed lung disease, lower than expected forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and their ratio each portend greater risk of developing cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, and for incident cardiovascular diseases including left heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke. Greater longitudinal declines in these spirometric measures are further associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While obstructive ventilatory patterns are more common, restrictive ventilatory patterns seem to demonstrate an independent and more robust association with cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure. These subclinical alterations in pulmonary function also relate to subclinical abnormalities of cardiac structure and function. Although the biologic pathways linking pulmonary and cardiovascular dysfunction are not clear, chronic systemic inflammation appears to be one important underlying pathophysiologic link. Despite the growing evidence of lung dysfunction as a cardiovascular risk factor, spirometric evaluation is still underutilized in clinical practice, particularly among cardiac patients, and optimal therapeutic and preventive strategies are still unclear. In this review, we address the current knowledge and controversies regarding the links between lung function and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Diminished peak lung function in young adulthood is a risk factor for future chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The association between lung disease and cardiovascular disease later in life is well documented. Whether peak lung function measured in young adulthood is associated with risk of future cardiovascular events is unknown. Methods and Results CARDIA (The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study is a prospective, multicenter, community‐based, longitudinal cohort study including 4761 participants aged 18 to 30 years with lung function testing we investigated the association between lung health in young adulthood and risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. We performed Cox proportional hazards regression to test the association between baseline and years 10 and 20 pulmonary function with incident cardiovascular events. Linear and logistic regression was performed to explore the associations of lung function with development of risk factors for cardiovascular disease as well as carotid intima‐media thickness and coronary artery calcified plaque. At baseline, mean age (±SD) was 24.9±3.6 years. Baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (hazard ratio) per −10‐unit decrement in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (hazard ratio, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.06–1.31 [P=0.002]) and FVC per −10‐unit decrement in percent predicted FVC (hazard ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.06–1.33 [P=0.003]) were associated with future cardiovascular events independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Baseline lung function was associated with heart failure and cerebrovascular events but not coronary artery disease events. Conclusions Lung function in young adulthood is independently associated with cardiovascular events into middle age. This association appears to be driven by heart failure and cerebrovascular events rather than coronary heart disease. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
COPD is one of the major public health problems in people aged 40 years or above. It is currently the 4th leading cause of death in the world and projected to be the 3rd leading cause of death by 2020. COPD and cardiac comorbidities are frequently associated. They share common risk factors, pathophysiological processes, signs and symptoms, and act synergistically as negative prognostic factors. Cardiac disease includes a broad spectrum of entities with distinct pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis. From an epidemiological point of view, patients with COPD are particularly vulnerable to cardiac disease. Indeed, mortality due to cardiac disease in patients with moderate COPD is higher than mortality related to respiratory failure. Guidelines reinforce that the control of comorbidities in COPD has a clear benefit over the potential risk associated with the majority of the drugs utilized. On the other hand, the true survival benefits of aggressive treatment of cardiac disease and COPD in patients with both conditions have still not been clarified. Given their relevance in terms of prevalence and prognosis, we will focus in this paper on the management of COPD patients with ischemic coronary disease, heart failure and dysrhythmia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although reduced lung function is associated with both COPD and coronary events (CE), the pattern of lung function impairment could be different for the two outcomes. We examined different measures of lung function in relation to incident COPD events and CE in a population-based cohort. METHODS Baseline spirometry and lung clearance index (LCI) were assessed in 672 men aged 55 years. Outcomes included incident COPD events and CE (hospitalisation or mortality). Cox regression was used to obtain HRs per 1-standard deviation (SD) decrement in baseline lung function. The Lunn-McNeil competing risks approach was used to assess if differences in risks for incident COPD events and CE were significant. RESULTS Over 44 years follow-up there were 85 incident COPD events and 266 incident CE. Low FEV1 and FEV1/VC and high LCI showed significantly stronger relationships with COPD events than CE (adjusted HRs per 1SD decrement and p-value for equal associations: FEV1; HRCOPD: 2.11 (1.66-2.68), HRCE: 1.30 (1.13-1.49) p < 0.001, FEV1/VC; HRCOPD 1.95 (1.60-2.36), HRCE 1.11 (0.98-1.26) p < 0.0001, LCI; HRCOPD: 1.58 (1.26-1.98), HRCE: 1.14 (1.00-1.31) p = 0.015. Low VC was significantly associated with both COPD and CE, but HRs were not significantly different between the outcomes (p-value for equal associations = 0.706). CONCLUSIONS Low FEV1 and FEV1/VC and high LCI at baseline show significantly stronger relationships with future COPD events than CE. Low VC at baseline is similarly associated with future COPD events and CE. This indicates differences but also an important similarity in the "lung function profile" for developing incident COPD events or incident CE later in life.

[PMID: 30011374 PMCID: PMC6321994 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.201803-184oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2018] [Accepted: 06/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
RATIONALE Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been related to heart failure, the relationship between the restrictive spirometry pattern (forced vital capacity [FVC] < 80% predicted with preserved forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]/FVC ratio) and heart failure is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To determine whether having a restrictive spirometry pattern is associated with incident heart failure hospitalization. METHODS Community-dwelling African Americans from the Jackson Heart Study (total n = 5,306; analyzed n = 4,210 with spirometry and heart failure outcome data) were grouped by restrictive spirometry (FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70, FVC < 80%; n = 840), airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC < 0.70; n = 341), and normal spirometry (FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.70, FVC ≥ 80%; n = 3,029) at the time of baseline examination in 2000-2004. We assessed relationships of echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers with spirometry patterns using regression models. Incident heart failure was defined as an adjudicated hospitalization for heart failure after January 1, 2005 in subjects with no self-reported heart failure history. We used multivariable-adjusted Poisson regression models and Cox proportional hazards models, with death treated as a competing risk in the Cox models, to test associations between spirometry patterns and incident heart failure. We also modeled the association of FVC% predicted with heart failure hospitalization risk using a restricted cubic spline after excluding subjects with airflow obstruction. RESULTS At the time of baseline spirometry, participants with restrictive spirometry had a median age of 57.2 years (interquartile range, 47.8-64.1); 38.1% were male. Compared with normal spirometry, restrictive spirometry was associated with a higher transmitral early (E) wave velocity to atrial (A) wave velocity ratio, higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and higher endothelin levels. After a median follow-up time of 8.0 years, 8.0% of subjects with restrictive spirometry (n = 67) had developed incident heart failure, compared with 3.8% of those with normal spirometry (n = 115) and 10.6% of those with airflow obstruction (n = 36). After risk adjustment, both a restrictive pattern (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.0) and airflow obstruction (HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.5) were associated with increased rates of incident heart failure hospitalization compared with normal spirometry. Using flexible modeling, the lowest hazards of heart failure hospitalization were observed around FVC 90-100%, with lower FVC% values associated with an increased incidence of heart failure. CONCLUSIONS Both a restrictive pattern on spirometry and airflow obstruction identify African Americans with impaired lung health at risk for heart failure.

Abstract
RATIONALE There are limited data on factors in young adulthood that predict future lung disease. OBJECTIVES To determine the relationship between respiratory symptoms, loss of lung health, and incident respiratory disease in a population-based study of young adults. METHODS We examined prospective data from 2,749 participants in the CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study who completed respiratory symptom questionnaires at baseline and 2 years later and repeated spirometry measurements over 30 years. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Cough or phlegm, episodes of bronchitis, wheeze, shortness of breath, and chest illnesses at both baseline and Year 2 were the main predictor variables in models assessing decline in FEV1 and FVC from Year 5 to Year 30, incident obstructive and restrictive lung physiology, and visual emphysema on thoracic computed tomography scan. After adjustment for covariates, including body mass index, asthma, and smoking, report of any symptom was associated with -2.71 ml/yr excess decline in FEV1 (P < 0.001) and -2.18 in FVC (P < 0.001) as well as greater odds of incident (prebronchodilator) obstructive (odds ratio [OR], 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-2.14) and restrictive (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.09-1.80) physiology. Cough-related symptoms (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.13-2.16) were associated with greater odds of future emphysema. CONCLUSIONS Persistent respiratory symptoms in young adults are associated with accelerated decline in lung function, incident obstructive and restrictive physiology, and greater odds of future radiographic emphysema.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced lung function is associated with clinical outcomes such as cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about its association with incident end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 14,946 participants aged 45 to 64 years at baseline (1987-1989) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (45.0% men and 25.2% black), with follow-up through 2012. PREDICTORS Race- and sex-specific quartiles of percent-predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) and the proportion of forced expiratory volume in 1 second of expiration to FVC (FEV1/FVC) at baseline determined with spirometry. OUTCOMES Incident ESRD (defined here as renal replacement therapy or death due to CKD) as the primary outcome and incident CKD (defined here as ESRD, ≥25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate to a level <60mL/min/1.73m2, or CKD-related hospitalizations/deaths) as the secondary outcome. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 23.6 years, 526 (3.5%) participants developed ESRD. After adjusting for potential confounders, the cause-specific HR of incident ESRD for the lowest (vs highest) quartile was 1.72 (95% CI, 1.31-2.26) for percent-predicted FVC and 1.33 (95% CI, 1.03-1.73) for FEV1/FVC. Compared to a high-normal lung function pattern, a mixed pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC<80% and FEV1/FVC<70%; 3.4% of participants) demonstrated the highest adjusted cause-specific HR of ESRD at 2.28 (95% CI, 1.50-3.45), followed by the restrictive pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC<80% and FEV1/FVC≥70%; 4.8% of participants) at 2.03 (95% CI, 1.47-2.81), obstructive pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC≥80% and FEV1/FVC<70%; 18.9% of participants) at 1.47 (95% CI, 1.09-1.99), and low-normal pattern (ie, percent-predicted FVC 80%-<100% and FEV1/FVC≥70%, or percent-predicted FVC≥80% and FEV1/FVC 70%-<75%; 44.3% of participants) at 1.21 (95% CI, 0.94-1.55). Similar associations were seen with incident CKD. LIMITATIONS Limited number of participants with moderate/severe lung dysfunction and spirometry only at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Reduced lung function, particularly lower percent-predicted FVC, is independently associated with CKD progression. Our findings suggest a potential pathophysiologic contribution of reduced lung function to the development of CKD and a need for monitoring kidney function in persons with reduced lung function.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic lung disease, often characterised by rapid decline in lung function, is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction (characterised by moderate to severe excess urinary albumin excretion (eUAE) but their longitudinal relationship is inadequately studied. In a bidirectional longitudinal examination of healthy adults, we analysed the following two hypotheses: (1) rapid decline (ie, highest tertile of lung function decline) predicts eUAE and (2) eUAE predicts rapid decline. Methods We performed a secondary data analysis from 3052 eligible participants from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. For analysis 1, the predictor was rapid decline in lung function between the peak value (attained at or before CARDIA visit year 10 or Y10 at a mean age of 35 years) and Y20; and the outcome was incident eUAE at Y20 and/or Y25. For analysis 2, the predictor was eUAE at Y10 and the outcome was rapid decline between Y10 and Y20. Results After adjustment for covariates in analysis 1, rapid decline in FEV1 or FVC between peak and Y20 predicted incident eUAE at Y20 and/or Y25 (OR 1.51 and 1.44, respectively; p≤0.05 for both analyses). In analysis 2, eUAE at Y10 did not predict subsequent rapid decline. Conclusions Healthy adults with rapid decline in lung function are at risk for developing vascular endothelial dysfunction, as assessed by incident eUAE, later in life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine whether a history of asthma from childhood is associated with left ventricular (LV) mass in adulthood. BACKGROUND Asthma has been related to various cardiovascular risk factors affecting LV hypertrophy. The authors saw a need for a prospective study to analyze the relationship between a history of asthma from childhood and markers of LV mass among asymptomatic young adults. METHODS Prospective analyses were performed among 1,118 Bogalusa Heart Study participants (average age at follow-up 36.7 ± 5.1 years), with a baseline history of self-reported asthma collected since childhood (average age at baseline 26.8 ± 10.1 years). LV mass (g) was assessed using 2-dimensional guided M-mode echocardiography and was indexed for body height (m2.7) as LV mass index (LVMI; g/m2.7). A multivariate linear mixed model was fitted for the repeated measures. RESULTS After an average of 10.4 ± 7.5 years of follow-up, participants with a history of asthma from childhood had a greater LV mass (167.6 vs. 156.9; p = 0.01) and LVMI (40.7 vs. 37.7; p < 0.01) with adjustment for age, sex, race, smoking status, antihypertensive medication, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure (SBP). The difference of LVMI between group with asthma and the group without asthma remained significant after additional adjustment for body mass index (39.0 vs. 37.1; p = 0.03) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (38.4 vs. 36.6; p = 0.04). In addition, the authors found significant interactions between SBP and asthma on LV mass and LVMI (p for interaction <0.01, respectively). The associations between asthma and LV measures appeared to be stronger among pre-hypertensive and hypertensive participants (SBP ≥130 mm Hg) compared with participants with normal SBP (<130 mm Hg) (regression coefficient: 39.5 vs. 2.3 for LV mass and 9.0 vs. 0.9 for LVMI). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study indicate that a history of asthma is associated with higher LVMI, and this association is stronger among participants with pre-hypertension and hypertension.

Abstract
RATIONALE Beyond the risks of smoking, there are limited data on factors associated with change in lung function over time. OBJECTIVES To determine whether cardiorespiratory fitness was longitudinally associated with preservation of lung health. METHODS Prospective data were collected from 3,332 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study aged 18-30 in 1985 who underwent treadmill exercise testing at baseline visit, and 2,735 participants with a second treadmill test 20 years later. The association between cardiorespiratory fitness and covariate adjusted decline in lung function was evaluated. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Higher baseline fitness was associated with less decline in lung function. When adjusted for age, height, race-sex group, peak lung function, and years from peak lung function, each additional minute of treadmill duration was associated with 1.00 ml/yr less decline in FEV1 (P < 0.001) and 1.55 ml/yr less decline in FVC (P < 0.001). Greater decline in fitness was associated with greater annual decline in lung function. Each 1-minute decline in treadmill duration between baseline and Year 20 was associated with 2.54 ml/yr greater decline in FEV1 (P < 0.001) and 3.27 ml/yr greater decline in FVC (P < 0.001). Both sustaining higher and achieving relatively increased levels of fitness over 20 years were associated with preservation of lung health. CONCLUSIONS Greater cardiopulmonary fitness in young adulthood, less decline in fitness from young adulthood to middle age, and achieving increased fitness from young adulthood to middle age are associated with less decline in lung health over time. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT 00005130).

Pulmonary vascular volume, impaired left ventricular filling and dyspnea: The MESA Lung Study. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0176180.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of impaired left ventricular (LV) filling has focused on intrinsic causes of LV dysfunction; however, pulmonary vascular changes may contribute to reduced LV filling and dyspnea. We hypothesized that lower total pulmonary vascular volume (TPVV) on computed tomography (CT) would be associated with dyspnea and decrements in LV end-diastolic volume, particularly among ever-smokers. METHODS The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis recruited adults without clinical cardiovascular disease in 2000-02. In 2010-12, TPVV was ascertained as the volume of arteries and veins in the lungs detectable on non-contrast chest CT (vessels ≥1 mm diameter). Cardiac measures were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dyspnea was self-reported. RESULTS Of 2303 participants, 53% had ever smoked cigarettes. Among ever-smokers, a lower TPVV was associated with a lower LV end-diastolic volume (6.9 mL per SD TPVV), stroke volume, and cardiac output and with dyspnea (all P-values <0.001). Findings were similar among those without lung disease and those with 0-10 pack-years but were mostly non-significant among never-smokers. TPVV was associated smaller left atrial volume but not with LV ejection fraction or MRI measures of impaired LV relaxation. In a second sample of ever-smokers, a lower pulmonary microvascular blood volume on contrast-enhanced MRI was also associated with a lower LV end-diastolic volume (P-value = 0.008). CONCLUSION Reductions in pulmonary vascular volume were associated with lower LV filling and dyspnea among ever-smokers, including those without lung disease, suggesting that smoking-related pulmonary vascular changes may contribute to symptoms and impair cardiac filling and function without evidence of impaired LV relaxation.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, the most common pulmonary complication of extremely preterm (EPT) birth, has longstanding multiorgan repercussions, with increasing reports of emphysema and cardiac disease in early adulthood. There are currently no clear recommendations pertaining to best practices for optimal multidisciplinary cardiorespiratory follow-up of EPT children. We report the outcomes of a 2-day consensus workshop involving a Canadian panel of 31 multidisciplinary experts with the goal of improvement and standardization of the cardiopulmonary follow-up care of EPT infants (i.e., born at <28 weeks' gestation), from neonatal discharge to mid childhood. The most relevant and important clinical outcomes to evaluate were identified. Practical aspects of integrating cardiopulmonary follow-up into ambulatory care clinics were explored. This article summarizes the discussions from this workshop and provides the panel's recommendations for clinical follow-up and research priorities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that pulmonary function impairment is related to cardiovascular events and death. Some studies have shown that the level of FVC is negatively related to arterial stiffness, but most studies were confined to men, and none of them examined the association of the presence of restrictive spirometry pattern with arterial stiffness. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of restrictive spirometry pattern with arterial stiffness by sex. METHODS This study recruited 2,961 subjects after excluding those with (1) obstructive lung disease, as defined by history and pulmonary function test; (2) history of asthma, lung cancer, tuberculosis, coronary heart disease, stroke, or any pulmonary structural deformities; and (3) medications influencing BP, plasma glucose, lipid profile, and pulmonary function test. Restrictive spirometry pattern was diagnosed as an FVC < 80% of the predicted value and an FEV1/FVC ratio ≥ 70%. Increased arterial stiffness was defined as right brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) ≥ 1,400 cm/s. RESULTS In both men and women, FVC was negatively associated with the baPWV level. Restrictive spirometry pattern was positively associated with increased arterial stiffness in both men and women (men: OR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.33-3.50; women: OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.02-3.72) after adjustment for other clinical variables. CONCLUSIONS Both restrictive spirometry pattern and reduced FVC were associated with a higher risk of arterial stiffness, not only in men but also in women. Clinically, assessment of arterial stiffness might be considered in individuals with restrictive spirometry pattern.

Decline in lung function rather than baseline lung function is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome: A six-year longitudinal study. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0174228.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate whether baseline lung function or change in lung function is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome (MS) in Koreans. We analyzed clinical and laboratory data from 3,768 Koreans aged 40–60 years who underwent medical check-ups over a six-year period between 2006 and 2012. We calculated the percent change in forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) over the study period. We tested for an association between baseline lung function or lung function change during the follow-up period and the development of MS. The 533 subjects (14.1%) developed MS after the six-year follow-up. The baseline FVC and FEV1 were not different between the subjects who developed MS after six years and the subject without MS after six years. The percent change in FVC over six years in subjects who developed MS after six years was higher than that in subjects who did not develop MS (-5.75 [-10.19 –-1.17], -3.29 [-7.69–1.09], respectively, P = 0.001). The percent change in FVC over six years was associated with MS development after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), glucose, HDL, triglyceride, waist circumferences (WC), and systolic blood pressure. However, these association was not significant after adjusting for change of BMI and change of WC over six years (P = 0.306). The greater change in vital capacity over six years of follow-up was associated with MS development, predominantly due to obesity and abdominal obesity. The prospective study is needed to determine the relationship between lung function decline and MS.

Abstract
The combined effects on the heart of smoking and hypoxaemia may contribute to an increased cardiovascular burden in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The use of beta-blockers in COPD has been proposed because of their known cardioprotective effects as well as reducing heart rate and improving systolic function. Despite the proven cardiac benefits of beta-blockers post-myocardial infarction and in heart failure they remain underused due to concerns regarding potential bronchoconstriction, even with cardioselective drugs. Initiating treatment with beta-blockers requires dose titration and monitoring over a period of weeks, and beta-blockers may be less well tolerated in older patients with COPD who have other comorbidities. Medium-term prospective placebo-controlled safety studies in COPD are warranted to reassure prescribers regarding the pulmonary and cardiac tolerability of beta-blockers as well as evaluating their potential interaction with concomitant inhaled long-acting bronchodilator therapy. Several retrospective observational studies have shown impressive reductions in mortality and exacerbations conferred by beta-blockers in COPD. However, this requires confirmation from long-term prospective placebo-controlled randomised controlled trials. The real challenge is to establish whether beta-blockers confer benefits on mortality and exacerbations in all patients with COPD, including those with silent cardiovascular disease where the situation is less clear.

Subclinical impairment of lung function is related to mild cardiac dysfunction and manifest heart failure in the general population. Int J Cardiol 2016; 218:298-304.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung function impairment has previously been related to heart failure, although no overt cardiovascular or structural heart disease is present. The extent to which pulmonary function is related to subclinical left ventricular impairment in the general population remains to be investigated. METHODS 15010 individuals from the general population (mean age 55±11years, 50.5% men) in the Gutenberg Health Study underwent spirometry, transthoracic echocardiography and biomarker measurement. Forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in percent of the predicted value and FEV1/FVC ratio were associated with echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure, systolic and diastolic function, biomarkers of cardiac necrosis (high-sensitive troponin I, hsTnI) and stress (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, Nt-proBNP) and heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). RESULTS Percent predicted FEV1 and FVC were significantly associated with hsTnI (P<0.001) and Nt-proBNP (P<0.001). Additionally, FEV1/FVC ratio was significantly related to hsTnI (P=0.0043) and Nt-proBNP (P<0.001). In the multivariable-adjusted linear regression analyses strongest associations were observed for percent predicted FEV1 and FVC with LVESD, E/e', SV and EF. FEV1/FVC ratio was significantly related with SV and EF. The three lung function parameters were significantly (P<0.001) associated with HFpEF and HFrEF. Associations remained statistically significant after exclusion of individuals with COPD. CONCLUSIONS FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio were associated with systolic and diastolic function and manifest heart failure. Our observations could show, that subclinical lung function impairment is related to a measurable reduction of left ventricular filling and cardiac output in the general population.

Abstract
This systematic review synthesizes the diverse body of epidemiologic research accrued on inorganic arsenic exposure and respiratory health effects. Twenty-nine articles were identified that examined the relationship between inorganic arsenic exposure and respiratory outcomes (i.e. lung function, symptoms, acute respiratory infections, chronic non-malignant lung diseases, and non-malignant lung disease mortality). There was strong evidence of a general association between arsenic and non-malignant respiratory illness, including consistent evidence on lung function impairment, acute respiratory tract infections, respiratory symptoms, and non-malignant lung disease mortality. Overall, early life exposure (i.e. in utero and/or early-childhood) had a marked effect throughout the lifespan. This review also identified some research gaps, including limited evidence at lower levels of exposure (water arsenic <100μg/L), mixed evidence of sex differences, and some uncertainty on arsenic and any single non-malignant respiratory disease or pathological process. Common limitations, including potential publication bias; non-comparability of outcome measures across included articles; incomplete exposure histories; and limited confounder control attenuated the cumulative strength of the evidence as it relates to US populations. This systematic review provides a comprehensive assessment of the epidemiologic evidence and should be used to guide future research on arsenic's detrimental effects on respiratory health.
