Abstract Background Increased arterial stiffness, using aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been demonstrated in patients with COPD. However, mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. We explored the contribution of aortic calcification to large artery haemodynamics and its association to bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with confirmed COPD. Methods Patients with COPD, free of maintenance oral corticosteroids, renal disease, diabetes or known cardiovascular disease (n = 45), 27 male, mean (SD) age 66(7) years underwent unenhanced thoraco-abdominal computed tomography to determine quantitative aortic calcium content using a volume scoring method. Aortic PWV was measured. A subgroup (n = 29) had BMD determined. Results All patients had some evidence of aortic calcification. Aortic PWV was related to log10 calcification in abdominal aorta (r = 0.34, p = 0.025) and to semi-quantitative assessment in the ascending and descending thoracic aorta (r = 0.47 and r = 0.39, both p < 0.01). Log10 calcium was inversely related to BMD hip (r = −0.43), p = 0.02. Both aortic PWV and log10 calcium were related to age, which on multiple regression was the independent variable. Conclusions Aortic calcification is related to aortic stiffness, an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, and inversely to BMD in patients with COPD. Given, both cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis are common in patients with COPD, determining underlying mechanisms are essential as potential therapeutic targets.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
