Drug-Induced Respiratory Disease in Cardiac Patients

  • Chapter
Integrated Cardiothoracic Imaging with MDCT

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 723 Accesses

Abstract

By definition, adverse reactions to drugs develop unpredictably in patients exposed to therapeutic doses of ‘drugs,’ which include such respiratory gases as dioxygen (O2) and nitric oxide (NO). Accordingly, misuse, disuse, drug interactions, deliberate or accidental overdoses, illicit drugs, and radiation therapy are outside the province of this chapter. Notwithstanding that, it is difficult to cover this topic without mentioning the features of respiratory reactions occasioned by abused substances, herbals, radiation therapy, overdoses of drugs, and procedures when these overlap with the features or are in the differentials list for drug-induced respiratory disease (Hagan and Burney 2007).
