Pulmonary Vascular Volume by Quantitative CT in Dyspneic Smokers with Minor Emphysema

open access: yesCOPD, 2023
Reduced lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at rest and increased ventilation (⩒E)-carbon dioxide output (⩒CO2) during exercise are frequent findings in dyspneic smokers with largely preserved FEV1.

Severe pulmonary hypertension due to combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema: another cause of death among smokers

open access: yesAutopsy and Case Reports, 2017
In 2005, the combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) was first defined as a distinct entity, which comprised centrilobular or paraseptal emphysema in the upper pulmonary lobes, and fibrosis in the lower lobes accompanied by reduced diffused ...
