Advances in understanding of mechanisms related to increased cardiovascular risk in COPD.

TL;DR: The present narrative review considers the mechanisms underlying the increased CV risk in COPd, and it provides insights on biomarkers and predictive models to predict CVD in COPD patients.

Utilization and effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for tobacco use following admission for exacerbation of COPD.

TL;DR: Treatment was provided to a minority of subjects and was not associated with cessation, with potential differences observed in effectiveness between medications, and systems-based changes may improve delivery of this key intervention.

Cardiovascular and Mortality Outcomes in the Elderly With Impaired Cardiac and Pulmonary Function: The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS)

TL;DR: While risk of cardiovascular outcomes was the highest among elderly with both LVSD and IPF, risk was comparable between subjects with IPF alone and those with LVSD alone, and risk classification improved significantly for all outcomes when IPF was added to the adjusted model with LV SD or LVSD to IPF.

Association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and systemic inflammation: a systematic review and a meta-analysis

TL;DR: Reduced lung function is associated with increased levels of systemic inflammatory markers which may have important pathophysiological and therapeutic implications for subjects with stable COPD.

Prevalence and outcomes of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease in COPD.

TL;DR: Subjects with GOLD stage 3 or 4 COPD had a higher prevalence of diabetes, which contributes to a higher risk of adverse outcomes of mortality and hospitalisations, and subjects with impaired lung function had more comorbid disease.

Mortality in COPD: Role of comorbidities.

TL;DR: The current paper reviews the role of comorbidities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease mortality, the putative underlying pathogenic link between chronic obstructives pulmonary disease and comorbrid conditions (i.e. inflammation), and the tools used to predict Chronic obstructivemonary disease mortality.

Systemic effects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the following systemic effects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: 1) systemic inflammation; 2) nutritional abnormalities and weight loss; 3) skeletal muscle dysfunction; 4) other potential systemic effects.
