| Popis: | Udgivelsesdato: 2003-Oct OBJECTIVE: to study whether smoking and impaired pulmonary function are associated with the expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). METHODS AND MATERIAL: seventy-nine men with small (3-5 cm), screen-detected AAA underwent a simple 5-step smoking history, measurement of the forced first second expiratory volume (FEV1), venepuncture and annual ultrasound scan for mean follow-up period of 3.5 years. RESULTS: all but one patient had a significantly reduced FEV1 (p |
