Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between eosinophils and changes in arteries among asthma patients, given that both conditions are linked to inflammation but previous mediators weren't well understood.
- - A total of 100 asthma patients were assessed, comparing those with low (< 300/µl) and high (≥ 300/µl) eosinophil blood counts, with findings showing that high eosinophil counts correlated with more severe asthma symptoms and increased arterial stiffness.
- - Results indicated that higher eosinophil levels were associated with reduced radial strain in the carotid arteries, suggesting potential support for the idea that eosinophils could play a role in the development of atherosclerosis.
