C29 ADVANCES IN PULMONARY IMAGING TO STUDY LUNG STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Computed Tomographic Vascular Pruning Predicts Mortality In Smokers Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

C29 ADVANCES IN PULMONARY IMAGING TO STUDY LUNG STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Computed Tomographic Vascular Pruning Predicts Mortality In Smokers Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Rationale: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: We measured CT vascular morphology in 6435 subjects from the COPDGene cohort who had Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage...

Description
Summary:Rationale: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: We measured CT vascular morphology in 6435 subjects from the COPDGene cohort who had Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 0-4 airflow obstruction and available mortality data.
