Peripheral Endothelial Function in Asthmatic Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Endothelial Function
Interventions
Device: Endopat
Registration Number
NCT02593344
Lead Sponsor
Hopital Foch
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the peripheral endothelial function in adult asthmatic patients and the relationship between the peripheral endothelial function and the pulmonary function.

Detailed Description

The primary criteria is the peripheral endothelial function that will be assessed by the measure of flow-mediated dilation (reactive hyperemia-peripheral artery tone index). The pulmonary function will be assessed by the measures of the FEV1, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the expiratory flow between 25% and 75% (FEF25-75%). The relationship between these parameters of the pulmonary function and the peripheral endothelial function will be analyzed. In addition, a relationship between peripheral endothelial function and the level of asthma control (Asthma Control Test (ACT)), the cardiovascular risk factors (SCORE INdex) and the treatment for asthma (controllers) will be also assessed.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with unstable asthma
  • Patients with a significant acute disease other than asthma. A significant disease is defined as a disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, may influence the results of the trial.
