Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: Pulmonary Function Testing and a Pathophysiology Perspective [PDF]

Medicina, 2019
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been increasingly recognized over the past 10−15 years as a clinical entity characterized by rather severe imaging and gas exchange abnormalities, but often only mild impairment in spirometric ...

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: Comparative Evidence on a Complex Condition [PDF]

Biomedicines, 2023
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by upper lobe emphysema and lower lobe fibrosis manifested by exercise hypoxemia, normal lung volumes, and severe reduction of diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide. It

The impact of emphysema in pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2013
Several groups have described a syndrome in which idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) coexists with pulmonary emphysema. This comes as no surprise since both diseases are associated with a history of exposure to cigarette smoke.

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]

Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine, 2021
The syndrome of combined emphysema of the upper lobes and fibrosis of the lower lobes on chest computed tomography results in a characteristic functional profile, with preserved lung volumes, hypoxemia at exercise.

Fatal pulmonary fibrosis complicating COVID-19 infection in preexistent emphysema

Radiology Case Reports, 2021
Only a few earlier clinical radiologic reports exist describing post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis. We report a case of 74-year-old woman referred with dizziness and hypoxemic respiratory failure with chest high resolution computer tomography (HRCT ...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Combined with Interstitial Lung Disease [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2022
Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) have distinct clinical features, both diseases may coexist in a patient because they share similar risk factors such as smoking, male sex, and old age.

Improvement of pulmonary arterial compliance by pulmonary vasodilator in pulmonary hypertension from combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a common but under-recognized syndrome characterized with distinct profiles of both pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Alveolar and interstitial disease in chronic smoker presenting as combined pulmonary fibrosis with emphysema: Double trouble!

Annals of Medical Science and Research, 2023
Tobacco smoke exposure causes diverse pulmonary manifestations with involvement of alveolar, interstitial, and vascular diseases due to inflammatory pathology apart from more lethal lung cancer. Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema is a heterogenous
