Isolated reduction in single-breath diffusing capacity in the evaluation of exertional dyspnea.
UNLABELLED STUDY SETTINGS AND INTERVENTIONS: Sixty individuals complaining of dyspnea on exertion, but with normal spirometry and lung volumes and normal chest roentgenograms were reviewed for this study. These individuals were selected from a large group of outpatients (552 individuals over a seven-year period) who were referred to our laboratory for exercise testing to determine the cause of ...
متن کاملDiffusing capacity in alcoholics.
It’s amazing to me how in this age of computers that an article as specific as yours was somehow missed in our personal review and in our automated computer search. However, I have had the occasion recently to review it and agree with you that your report on the effects of angiotensin on left ventricular ejection fraction in both man and dog was well described. Although your methods of determin...
متن کاملDensity-dependent reduction of nitric oxide diffusing capacity after pneumonectomy.
Airway lengthening after pneumonectomy (PNX) may increase diffusive resistance to gas mixing (1/D(G)); the effect is accentuated by increasing acinar gas density but is difficult to detect from lung CO-diffusing capacity (Dl(CO)). Because lung NO-diffusing capacity (Dl(NO)) is three- to fivefold that of Dl(CO), whereas 1/D(G) for NO and CO are similar, we hypothesized that a density-dependent f...
متن کاملHigh frequency skin ultrasonography in systemic sclerosis
Background: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder which is characterised by cutaneous and internal organ fibrosis. Raynaud’s phenomenon is the earliest feature and may precede the onset of the disease by months to years. The heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and other organs may be involved. Our aim was to evaluate skin thickness and echogenicity in systemic...
متن کاملIsolated right ventricular dysfunction in systemic sclerosis: latent pulmonary hypertension?
Right ventricular function is frequently abnormal in patients with systemic sclerosis, but whether this is related to pulmonary vascular complications of the disease is unclear. Standard echocardiography with tissue Doppler imaging was performed at rest and during exercise for the study of right ventricular function and pulmonary circulation in 25 consecutive systemic sclerosis patients and in ...
