Obstructive? Restrictive? Or a ventilatory impairment?
Since 1991, the guidelines for interpretation of lung function tests endorsed by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) have recommended that the presence of airflow obstruction be determined by a reduction in the ratio of FEV1 to FVC (or vital capacity), but that the severity of the obstructive impairment be indicated by the reduction in FEV1 itself, expressed as a percent of its predicted value ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Cognitive Impairment in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment can be considered as an intermediate clinical state between normal cognitive aging and mild dementia. Elderly people with this impairment represent an at-risk group for the development of dementia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and ...
متن کاملImpairment of Ventilatory Efficiency in Heart Failure
Background—Impairment of ventilatory efficiency in congestive heart failure (CHF) correlates well with symptomatology and contributes importantly to dyspnea. Methods and Results—We investigated 142 CHF patients (mean NYHA class, 2.6; mean maximum oxygen consumption [V̇O2max], 15.3 mL O2 z kg 21 z min; mean left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 27%). Patients were compared with 101 healthy c...
متن کاملImpairment of ventilatory efficiency in heart failure.
Heart Failure To the Editor: In these days of high-technology cellular biology, it is always a great pleasure to read research relating to whole-body integrated physiology. Kleber and colleagues1 are to be congratulated on presenting important data relating to the survival of real patients with exercise impairment. There are a number of important issues that I would draw attention to. The patie...
متن کاملCognitive impairment and mortality in the community-dwelling elderly.
The effects on mortality of cognitive impairment and 3-year declines in cognitive function were examined among community-dwelling adults aged 68 years or more. Data were taken from a population-based cohort study that enrolled noninstitutionalized elderly residents of New Haven, Connecticut, and followed them by conducting in-home interviews in 1982, 1985, 1988, and 1994. The cognitive function...
