Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Sports Medicine
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a common condition affecting 40-90% of individuals with asthma.
  • Exercise can act as a primary or contributing trigger for asthma exacerbations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of the diagnostic approaches and management strategies for exercise-induced asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search using MEDLINE for relevant articles, abstracts, and conference proceedings.
  • Selection of published materials for review.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis of EIA is often achievable through thorough patient history and physical examination, with spirometry used for confirmation.

  • Pharmacological interventions, including inhaled beta-agonists, inhaled cromolyn, and antileukotrienes, are key for EIA prevention.
  • Long-term asthma control with anti-inflammatory drugs, such as inhaled corticosteroids, can reduce the frequency of EIA.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early identification and consistent management of EIA are crucial for reducing symptom episodes.
    • Effective treatment allows individuals with EIA to participate in sports and maintain active lifestyles.
