Abstract
Cardiovascular pathology is a frequent comorbid condition in case of bronchial asthma (BA) presence. BA exacerbations and uncontrolled use of short-acting bronchodilators (SABA) increase cardiorespiratory risk. The use of a combination of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS) / long-acting β2-agonists or ICS/SABA instead of SABA as symptomatic therapy for bronchial asthma reduces the risk of exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases. The use of ICS/SABA becomes more justified in the presence of the Arg16Gly allele of the ADRB2 receptor gene, which suggests a better response to SABA comparatively to long-acting β2-agonists.
