Box 2 Clinical notes II: note of the influence of lung function on cardiovascular comorbidity.

Decreased pulmonary function is closely associated with an increased risk of CVD
Hyperinflation can render a compression effect on the heart, creating unfavorable conditions for myocardial function
Association between lung function and possibility of disease occurrence has been demonstrated for the whole spectrum of CVD, including cerebrovascular disease

CVD, cardiovascular disease.
