Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prone to clinical exacerbations that are associated with increased airway inflammation, a potent pro-thrombotic stimulus. Limited information is available on the mechanisms underlying the putative alterations of the endothelial-coagulative system during acute exacerbations. The aim was to investigate whether the activation of the endothelial-coagulative system occurs in association with the acute inflammatory response of COPD exacerbation.

Background: Cigarette smoking is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Exposure to cigarette smoke can cause endothelial dysfunction with impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation and 'endothelial activation', which predispose to atherothrombosis. The effects of continued smoking and smoking cessation on the level of endothelial, platelet and clotting activation have not been described previously.
