Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) during exercise occurs in most but not all patients with
advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is not known whether the …

Background Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) causes exercise limitation and exertional dyspnea
in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exertional desaturation (ED) …

Dynamic hyperinflation contributes to exertional breathlessness and reduced exercise
tolerance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This study examined …

Background Pulmonary hyperinflation has the potential for significant adverse effects on
cardiovascular function in COPD. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship …

Background One of the contributors to exercise limitation in COPD is dynamic hyperinflation.
Although dynamic hyperinflation appears to occur during several exercise protocols in …

Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) contributes importantly to the limitation of constant-load
exercise (CLE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its …

The role of dynamic hyperinflation (DH) in exercise limitation in chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) remains to be defined. We examined DH during exercise in 105 …

The objective of this study was to investigate whether some activities of daily living (ADLs)
usually related to dyspnea sensation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Study objective We undertook the present study to investigate the perception of dyspnea
(with respect to changes in end-inspiratory and end-expiratory lung volumes), during four …

Background: Not all patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
progressively hyperinflate during symptom limited exercise. The pattern of change in chest …
