Inhaled Iloprost, Dynamic Hyperinflation, and Oxidative Stress in COPD Patients

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the pulmonary vasculature in the development and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To accomplish this, an inhaled prostacyclin (iloprost) will be given to patients with COPD and changes in oxidative stress and lung volumes during exercise will be measured.
