The aim of the present study was to evaluate exercise limiting factors using cardiopulmonary
exercise testing (CPET) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to …

Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive dyspnea,
impaired gas exchange, and ultimate mortality. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that …

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and fatal
interstitial lung disease associated with poor prognosis and limited effective treatment …

Background and objective Pulmonary hypertension is frequently observed in advanced
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and is associated with poor prognosis. Cardiopulmonary …

Background and objective: Increased pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) usually coexists
with impaired lung function in IPF. Data on the effect of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on …

Study objective Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) varies widely in its course. To evaluate
predictive parameters at presentation to the hospital, we investigated 99 patients with IPF …

The purpose of this study was to analyse the information provided by different techniques
used in the assessment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and their role in …

Exercise capacity and survival of patients with IPF is potentially impaired by pulmonary
hypertension. This study aims to investigate diagnostic and prognostic properties of gas …

Background Exertional dyspnea is the most prominent and disabling feature in idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The Medical Research Chronic (MRC) chronic dyspnea score as …

Background: Exertional dyspnea and exercise incapacity are the most prominent and
disabling symptoms and the main contributors to health-related quality of life in patients with …
