Publisher's Synopsis

This groundbreaking reference presents the latest advances in the study of exercise as a precipitant of acute airflow limitation-comprehensively updating the theories, testing methodologies, clinical features, and treatment options for exercise-induced asthma (EIA).
Written by leading researchers in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine, Exercise-Induced Asthma

  • discusses current theories on pathogenesis, emphasizing new data on the relationship between vascular phenomena and bronchoconstriction
  • explores respiratory thermal transfer and water vaporization as factors in controlling or triggering the asthma reaction sequence
  • evaluates the efficacy and potential interactions of pharmacologic compounds such as 2-adrenergic agonists, cromolyn sodium, histamine receptor-1 antagonists, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), heparin, and others
  • contrasts pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management schemes, emphasizing the role of climate and type, intensity, and duration of exercise
  • reviews exercise testing as a method of diagnosing airway hyperreactivity
  • details the effects of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter on the asthmatic diathesis
  • compares natural salutory mechanisms such as release of inhibitory prostaglandins with use of medications such as 2-agonist bronchodilators
  • and more!
