Factor percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s(FEV1)
Description Inverse correlations were shown for CHD-APAH between medical research council dyspnea score and percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (r=-0.6662, P=0.0018)
Biomarker NA
Classification E11 (physiological factor - physical sign)

Conclusion Raised biomarkers for inflammation were found in CHD-APAH. Significant abnormalities in airway physiology may contribute to the dyspnea but are not driven by inflammation as assessed by circulating and sputum cytokines. A relationship between increased serum endothelin-1 and airway dysfunction may relate to its bronchoconstrictive properties.
