The functional disturbances driving “out-of-proportion” dyspnoea in patients with fibrosing
interstitial lung disease (f-ILD) showing only mild restrictive abnormalities remain poorly …

Unsatisfied inspiration is commonly reported during exercise by patients with interstitial lung
disease (ILD). However, the physiological basis of perceived dyspnea quality in this …

BACKGROUND: The precise mechanisms driving poor exercise tolerance in patients with
fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (fibrotic ILDs) showing a severe impairment in single-breath …

In patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), hypoxaemia on exertion is frequent,
and contributes to exercise intolerance, exertional dyspnoea and reduced quality of life [1 …

Our understanding of the mechanisms of dyspnoea in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is
incomplete. The aims of this study were two-fold: 1) to determine whether dyspnoea intensity …

Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of the interstitial lung diseases and is frequently
associated with marked dyspnoea on exertion. People with interstitial lung disease exhibit a …

The prevailing view is that exertional dyspnoea in patients with combined idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and emphysema (CPFE) can be largely explained by severe …

Background Patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) are frequently physically
inactive and many ILD subtypes are characterized by risk factors for myopathy; however, the …

Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of the interstitial lung diseases and is frequently
associated with marked dyspnoea on exertion. People with interstitial lung disease exhibit a …

We compared qualitative and quantitative aspects of perceived exertional dyspnea in
patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and normal subjects and sought a physiological …
