Is bronchitis a disease of the cardiovascular system or the respiratory system?

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucus membranes of the bronchi (the airways that carry air from the trachea into the rest of the lungs). As such it is clearly a disease of the respiratory system rather than cardiovascular. It can be the result of an infection or to exposure to noxious airborne components like cigarette smoke or pollution. Of course, if the inflammation is interfering with the ability of a person to breath, the effects will show up in the cardiovascular system as the blood may not be getting fully oxygenated as it passes through the lungs - but this is a secondary effect.
