Is Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction Exercise-Induced Asthma?
The article in this issue of RESPIRATORY CARE by Burnett et al1 reports that 34 of 80 college athletes had exerciseinduced bronchoconstriction (EIB), most in the absence of symptoms. The authors further suggest that these athletes are at risk and that the identification of those with EIB may prevent morbidity and mortality. The implication is that the presence of EIB is evidence for asthma. But...
متن کاملSeverity of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is related to airway eosinophilic inflammation in patients with asthma.
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is widely prevalent in asthmatic patients. Eosinophilic airway inflammation is considered to be a major factor in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the effects of eosinophilic airway inflammation on EIB have been elucidated insufficiently. To examine the relationship between the severity of EIB and eosinophilic inflammation, sputum induction and exe...
متن کاملAsthma Bronchiale and Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction.
Exercising regularly has a wide range of beneficial health effects; in particular, it has been well documented to help in the management of chronic illnesses including asthma. However, in some individuals, exertion can also trigger an exacerbation of asthmatic episodes and subsequent acute attacks of breathlessness, coughing, tightness of the chest and wheezing. This physiological process is ca...
متن کاملExercise-induced bronchoconstriction: Asthma in athletes
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes a condition of hyperpnea-triggered airway narrowing that occurs in susceptible individuals during or after physical exercise. The pathogenesis of EIB is multifactorial and not completely understood, but it seems that inflammation of the airways plays a major role. EIB is present in a large number of otherwise healthy athletes. Studies suggest...
