Medications for asthma can treat aortic aneurysms

The latest study by scientists at the Karolinska Medical Institute (Sweden) shows that asthma medications have a great potential for treating aortic aneurysm, and may even help patients reduce the probability of having to progress. surgical operation.

According to scientists, high levels of enzymes inside the aortic vessel wall can promote cysteinyl leukotriene formation , thereby slowing down the resolution of many protein components in vascular wall organization and causing Aortic aneurysm bulges.

Meanwhile cysteinyl leukotriene is the substance that causes asthma.

People with asthma often use drugs to inhibit the formation of cysteinyl leukotriene.

Scientists believe that asthma medications have great potential for treating aortic aneurysm. The next step scientists will quickly conduct experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of asthma medications for aortic aneurysm treatment.
