...: In this single-center prospective cohort study, COVID-19 ICU survivors were invited 3 and 6 months after ICU discharge. We examined pulmonary function with pulmonary function tests (PFT) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), and we established health-related quality of life (HRQL) and health status (HS...

... diseases associated with high mortality. Previous studies suggested a prognostic role for peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) assessed during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with COPD. However, most of these studies had small sample sizes or short follow-up periods, and despite...

... that could help with early diagnosis to provide important information regarding prognosis. Objectives: The current study aimed to determine whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be helpful in differentiating patients having CPFE with and without PH. Methods: Patients diagnosed with CPFE in 2...

...-limiting factors were evaluated by a treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) 6–60 months after BLTx. Physical activity was measured with accelerometers, and results were compared with Norwegian normative data and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendations for physical activity. Results...

... patients were assessed by means of right heart catheterization, 6-min walking distance (6MWD) test, lung function and cardiopulmonary exercise testing, including the assessment of IC. Results: 37 patients with idiopathic PAH and 13 patients with conditions associated with PAH (29 female; mean age 51.6...

... the reported incidence of CTEPH after acute PE, the number of patients with undiagnosed CTEPH may be high. Objectives: We aimed to determine if cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) could serve as complementary tool in the diagnosis of CTEPH and can detect CTEPH in patients with normal echocardiography...

... limitation. Objective: We aimed to answer the question whether measurements of DH during metronome-paced tachypnea (MPT) or cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be used to identify patients who develop DH during ADL. Methods: DH was measured by tracking changes in inspiratory capacity during CPET, MPT...

... Dyspnea Cardiopulmonary exercise testing Pulmonary function Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology characterized by the formation of epithelioid cell granuloma without caseation. Chest involvement is frequent and usually the primary target organ [ 1 ]. Patients...

...: This study investigated the prevalence of anemia of chronic disease (ACD) in COPD patients and its impact on dyspnea and exercise capacity, utilizing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Methods: ACD prevalence was assessed in 283 consecutive patients with stable COPD (263 males, 60 females; age 60.31...

... with a variety of chronic pulmonary diseases [age 57 ± 14 years, forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV 1 ) 76 ± 23% of the predicted value] undergoing maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (peak V O 2 18.6 ± 6.6 ml/kg/min). Results: Raised MR-proANP (r = –0.54), MR- proADM (r = –0.54), and CT-proET...
