  • Title: Systemic arterial hypertension and small airways function: acute effects of diazoxide and furosemide.
    Author: Bucca C, Rolla G, Pecchio O, Ratti C, Accatino G, Galeasso B.
    Journal: Respiration; 1980; 39(4):188-92. PubMed ID: 7414099.
    Abstract:
    Two groups of 10 patients with systemic arterial hypertension were studied by respiratory function tests before and after acute administration of diazoxide or furosemide. Small airways obstruction was present in a high percentage of patients and was partially reversed after the acute administration either of diazoxide or of furosemide. Systemic arterial hypertension seems to influence small airways caliber, through pulmonary vascular distension and/or pulmonary interstitial edema.
