Lung mechanics and exertional dyspnea in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
inspiratory capacity is often decreased in PAH, and that this is associated with a decreased aerobic exercise capacity and a shorter life expectancy. Inspiratory capacity is the difference between total lung capacity and functional residual capacity, and as such increases in the presence of expiratory airflow limitation or dynamic hyperinflation. The authors measured in 50 patients with PAH an ...
متن کاملExertional dyspnea and ventilation in hyperthyroidism.
Dyspnea is recognized to be an important feature in patients with hyperthyroidism at rest and during exercise. However, its etiology is not well-understood. Since dyspnea is thought to be related to the perception of excessive ventilatory effort, we explored the possibility that dyspnea in these patients might be related to an inappropriate ventilatory response to the increased metabolic rate. ...

BACKGROUND Exertional dyspnea is the primary symptom that limits exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is unknown which activated brain area is associated with this symptom in COPD patients. OBJECTIVES To investigate the activation of cortical areas associated with dyspnea during exercise in COPD patients. METHODS COPD patients (n = 10) and age-matched c...
متن کاملThyrotoxicosis presenting as exertional dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension: Case report and review of literature
OBJECTIVES In this case study, we describe a 35-year-old woman with pulmonary hypertension that was secondary to thyrotoxicosis who presented with exertional dyspnea. In the approach to exertional dyspnea, detailed physical examination and laboratory findings helped to get the diagnosis. METHODS Echocardiography showed right ventricular systolic pressure = 60 mmHg. A suppressed thyroid-stimul...
متن کاملFailing phrenics: an obscure cause of exertional dyspnea
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic phrenic nerve palsy is a rare cause of exertional dyspnea. We present a case of a patient presenting with worsening dyspnea of an unknown etiology found to be related to bilateral phrenic nerve palsy. DISCUSSION Forty-two-year-old man presented to our emergency department with exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and a left lower lobe consolidation treated initially as bronc...
