Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • change of endothelial dysfunction (impaired vasomotor reactivity due to shaer stress) confirmed by non-invasive measurement of flow mediated dilation (FMD) 6-8 weeks after acute exacerbation of COPD

    Baseline, Week 6-8

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • change of systemic inflammation 6-8 weeks after COPD-exacerbation confirmed by inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), fibrinogen levels, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels

    baseline, week 6-8

Study Arms (1)

Exacerbation

The study sample will consist of patients admitted to the hospital because of an acute exacerbation of COPD
