Popis: Structural reconstruction of branches of the pulmonary artery was not seen in severe atopic asthma. Precapillary pulmonary hypertension with marked structural wall changes of small branches of the pulmonary artery, such as hypertrophy of intima and muscles, sclerosis of adventitia, as well as bronchiolitis and lung emphysema, were shown morphometrically and immunohistochemically in smokers with severe chronic obstructive lung disease. The thickening of the muscle layout was due to the increase in myofibroblast number.
