Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in differential diagnosis of dyspnea.
Dyspnea is a common exercise-induced symptom whose treatment is often improperly because the pathophysiology causing the exercise intolerance is not well understood. The most important requirement for exercise performance is transport of oxygen to support the bioenergetic processes in the muscle cells (including, of course, the heart) and elimination of the carbon dioxide formed as a product of...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of dyspnea in patients referred for cardiac stress testing.
BACKGROUND Although dyspnea is a common symptom, there has been only limited investigation of its prognostic significance among patients referred for cardiac evaluation. METHODS We studied 17,991 patients undergoing myocardial-perfusion single-photon-emission computed tomography during stress and at rest. Patients were divided into five categories on the basis of symptoms at presentation (non...
متن کاملExercise echocardiographic findings and outcome of patients referred for evaluation of dyspnea.

BACKGROUND Little information exists regarding outcome of patients with dyspnea. METHODS We identified 443 patients with unexplained dyspnea, 2,033 with chest pain, and 587 with both symptoms referred for exercise echocardiography. RESULTS Compare...
متن کاملDyspnea in a patient years after severe poliomyelitis. The role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
Dyspnea after polio can occur for a variety of reasons, including neuromuscular disease and upper airway abnormalities resulting from prolonged intubation, including tracheal stenosis, tracheomalacia, and vocal cord paralysis. Routine studies such as spirometry and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) measurements can give similar results in these conditions. We present a 50-year-old woman who a...
متن کاملStrategies for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing of Pectus Excavatum Patients
The purpose of this paper is to provide strategies for cardiopulmonary exercise testing of pectus excavatum patients. Currently, there are no standardized methods for assessing cardiovascular and pulmonary responses in this population; therefore, making comparisons across studies is difficult if not impossible. These strategies are intended for physicians, pulmonary technicians, exercise physio...
