Brief Summary:
This study is a cross-sectional study to evaluate the relationship between coronary calcium score and clinical parameters of asthma such as onset of disease, lung function parameter and airway inflammation parameter (sputum eosinophil or FeNO) in Korean elderly asthma (regardless of whether they have concomittent COPD or not) patients
Detailed Description:
Subjects who visited Allergy Clinic in SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center for asthma or ACO will be recruited consecutively. Subjects who meets the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will take coronary artery calcium scoring CT and asthma CT (inspiration and expiration images). The correlation between the degree of coronary calcification and airway diameter, airway wall thickness, air-trapping and emphysema will be evaluated as well as clinical parameters of asthma. We will also compare those correlations from the images of healthy control subjects who performed the coronary calcium scoring CT for health checkup purpose.
