Results: When stratified into two groups based on age (young, <20.6 years old), there were no significant differences in D LCO , D M , V C , or Q (all of which were normalized to body surface area [BSA]) in the young group...

...Chris Burtin; Helge Hebestreit A relevant proportion of children and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) have a marked decrease in exercise tolerance, which can be partly related to impaired muscle function and decreased physical activity levels in daily life, in addition to lung disease. Preliminary...

...Anne E. Holland; Leona M. Dowman; Catherine J. Hill The interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are characterised by dyspnoea on exertion, exercise-induced hypoxaemia, reduced skeletal muscle function and exercise intolerance. Evidence from nine randomised controlled trials shows that pulmonary...

... thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). An important predictor of outcome is postsurgical residual pulmonary hypertension. Objective: We aimed to use the hemodynamic response during exercise before PEA as a measurement for the hemodynamic outcome 1 year after PEA. Methods: Between January 2011...

...K. Kenn; R. Gloeckl; J. Behr Among the various types of interstitial lung diseases, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common disorder and has a poor prognosis and a limited response to pharmacological treatment. In patients with IPF, functional exercise tolerance and quality of life...

...J.J. Pandit; P.A. Robbins The purpose of this study was to examine whether sustained hypoxia during exercise attenuates the degree of decline in hypoxic ventilatory sensitivity which occurs during sustained hypoxia at rest. The acute ventilatory response to hypoxia (AHVR) was used as a measure...

...Robert B. Schoene Ventilatory acclimatization to high altitude has been discussed in a chronologic fashion, i.e. the acute, prolonged, and chronic or lifelong phases, and the integration of exercise ventilation as it relates to each of these phases has been outlined. Unanswered questions in each...
