Left atrial volume as an independent predictor of exercise capacity in patients with isolated diastolic dysfunction presented with exertional dyspnea
BACKGROUND Left atrial volume (LAV) and exercise capacity are important prognostic determinants of cardiovascular risk. Exercise intolerance and increased LAV are expected in patients with diastolic dysfunction. While dyspnea is the symptom reported by the patient and considered subjective, exercise capacity obtained by exercise testing provides an objective measure of cardiovascular fitness. T...
متن کاملMechanisms of exertional dyspnea in patients with cancer.
Exertional dyspnea is an important symptom in cancer patients, and, in many cases, its cause remains unexplained after careful clinical assessment. To determine mechanisms of exertional dyspnea in a variety of cancer types, we evaluated cancer outpatients with clinically important unexplained dyspnea (CD) at rest and during exercise and compared the results with age-, sex-, and cancer stage-mat...

متن کاملthe effect of home‑based inspiratory muscle training on exercise capacity, exertional dyspnea and pulmonary function in copd patients
abstract background: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is currently the fourth cause of mortality worldwide. patients with copd experience periods of dyspnea, fatigue, and disability, which impact on their life. the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of short‑term inspiratory muscle training on exercise capacity, exertional dyspnea, and pulmonary lung function. mat...
متن کاملGlobal longitudinal strain predicts long-term survival in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a measure of the active shortening of the LV in the longitudinal direction, which can be assessed with speckle-tracking echocardiography. The aims of this evaluation were to validate the prognostic value of GLS as a new index of LV systolic function in a large cohort of patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy and to dete...
