Increased vagal airway tone in fatal asthma
Medical Hypotheses, 11/30/09
Molfino NA – On the basis of this hypothesis, it is recommended that vagal airway tone be assessed in all patients with asthma, particularly in those with a history of near–fatal events. If the airway tone is increased, individuals should be treated with a triple combination of long–acting beta2 agonists, inhaled steroids, and inhaled anticholinergics to prevent vagally mediated fatal events.
