Cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables as predictors of long-term outcome in thoracic sarcoidosis
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) plays an important role in the assessment of functional capacity in patients with interstitial lung disease. The aim of this study was to identify CPET measures that might be helpful in predicting the vital capacity and diffusion capacity outcomes of patients with thoracic sarcoidosis. A longitudinal study was conducted on 42 nonsmoking patients with thor...
متن کاملPredictors of Long-Term Survival after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest is one of the most important issues related to the safety and quality of patient care, and unexpected events such as failure to follow guidelines can endanger the patient's safety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its predictors in patients with cardiac arrest. Materi...
متن کاملLong -Term Outcome Therapy of Toxic Diffuse Goiter in Tehran
SUMMARY In order to evaluate the long-ter m effects of antithyroids and ahlative therapy on patients with toxic diffuse goiter (TDG) in an iodine deficient region, 206 patients were studied in Tehran. Hyperthyroidism recurred in 50%, of 80 patients treated with Methimazole (MMI), from one week to 48 months after cessation of therapy. Another 40 patients remained in remission. Of 102 patients t...
متن کامل[Cardiopulmonary exercise testing as predictors for lung resection in patients with lung cancer].
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has become an important clinical tool to evaluate exercise capacity and predict outcome for patients with lung cancer being considered for lung resection. CPET can help in stratifying the surgical risk and identify those high-risk patients with lung resection. Preoperative screening using CPET allow the selection of appropriate therapeutic approach to dec...
متن کاملExercise testing in pulmonary sarcoidosis.
The variable natural history of sarcoidosis and the toxicity of corticosteroids result in many clinical situations where there is controversy concerning the need for treatment. Progressive incremental testing is an excellent method to identify physiologic mechanisms responsible for exercise limitation. It is therefore ideal to determine if subjective symptoms such as dyspnea are due to cardiac ...
