  • Title: Exercise-induced asthma. Physiologic and clinical considerations.
    Author: Bleecker ER.
    Journal: Clin Chest Med; 1984 Mar; 5(1):109-19. PubMed ID: 6723234.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses the physiologic and clinical aspects of exercise-induced asthma. Alterations in heat and water exchange in the respiratory tract appear to be important in initiating exercise-induced asthma, which can be reproduced by isocapneic hyperventilation with cold dry air. These pulmonary responses are also closely related to the level of non-specific airways hyperreactivity. Proposed mechanisms by which airways cooling and drying produce bronchospasm are reviewed and therapeutic approaches are discussed.
