Systemic vascular dysfunction is present in the earlier stages of COPD, particularly in patients with greater emphysema burden and low TLCO. Regardless FEV1, patients showing those structural and functional abnormalities might be at higher risk of negative events thereby deserving closer follow-up for early detection of cardiovascular disease.
