P7.14 SERUM INFLAMMATORY MARKERS ARE POOR PREDICTORS OF VASCULAR INFLAMMATION AND VASCULAR INFLAMMATION DOES NOT DETERMINE AORTIC STIFFNESS IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)

P7.14 SERUM INFLAMMATORY MARKERS ARE POOR PREDICTORS OF VASCULAR INFLAMMATION AND VASCULAR INFLAMMATION DOES NOT DETERMINE AORTIC STIFFNESS IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)
