In this review, we present the effects of lung hyperinflation on the cardiovascular system (CVS) and the beneficial outcomes of different deflation treatment modalities. We discuss the effects of long-acting bronchodilator drugs, medical and surgical lung volume reduction on the performance of the CVS.

Although there is a small number of studies investigating lung deflation and the CVS, the short-term improvement in heart function was clearly demonstrated.

However, more studies, with longer duration, are needed to verify these significant beneficial effects of deflation of the lungs on the CVS. Dynamic hyperinflation during exercise could be a research model to investigate further the effects of lung hyperinflation and/or deflation on the CVS.
