Relationship Between Cardiovascular Disease in Asthma and Eosinophil Subtypes and Biomarkers of Bronchial Remodeling.

To know the clinical and inflammatory characteristics of patients with asthma and associated cardiovascular disease.

Study Overview

Status

Not yet recruiting

Detailed Description

Recent studies have shown that asthma could be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially in the female and late-onset subgroups. The two entities share several risk factors, such as chronic inflammation and bronchial remodeling. Eosinophilia, characteristic of asthma, has also been described as a predictor of cardiovascular mortality.

The aim of this study is to determine the clinical and inflammatory characteristics of patients with asthma and associated cardiovascular disease, as well as their relationship with eosinophil subtypes, biomarkers of chronic inflammation and bronchial remodeling.
