| Factor | forced vital capacity(FVC) |
| Description | Inverse correlations were shown for CHD-APAH between medical research council dyspnea score and percent predicted forced vital capacity (r=-0.5536, P=0.0186). |
| 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. |
