A person's expectations and mood are major contributors to the function of the brain
networks that generate perceptions of breathlessness. Breathlessness, therefore, arises …

In health, the near-eucapnic, highly efficient hyperpnea during mild-to-moderate intensity
exercise is driven by three obligatory contributions, namely, feedforward central command …

Background: Despite the known benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for patients with
chronic respiratory disease, this treatment is underused. Evidence-based guidelines should …

In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), exertional dyspnoea
generally arises when there is imbalance between ventilatory demand and capacity, but the …

Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex and persistent lung

In cardiopulmonary medicine, residual exertional dyspnea (RED) can be defined by the
persistence of limiting breathlessness in a patient who is already under the best available …

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) remains poorly understood and, consequently,
largely underused in respiratory medicine. In addition to a widespread lack of knowledge of …

Abstract Angiotensin-(1-7)[Ang-(1-7)], a peptide of the renin-angiotensin system, has anti-
