Introduction Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a major contributor of both dyspnea and reduced
exercise capacity among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The …

Breathlessness and leg fatigue are important symptoms during exercise in COPD patients.
Breathlessness relates to increase in end-expiratory volume. Less is known about individual …

Decreased exercise tolerance in patients with COPD is the result of involvement in variable
proportion of three mechanisms: ventilatory limitation, muscle dysfunction and cardio …

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 …

The aim of this work was to study the relationship between dynamic hyperinflation and
dyspnoea perception on exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Background: we demonstrated the influence of Ventilatory inefficiency (increased VE/VCO 2)
as an independent mechanism in reducing exercise capacity in COPD (Resp Care 2012; 57 …

Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a common cause of exercise limitation in COPD. Flow
limitation and increment in respiratory rate can increase DH, which may cause increased …

The inability to engage in sustained physical activity is a common feature of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and contributes importantly to the perception of poor …

To assess whether different indices of dyspnea can be obtained from cardiopulmonary
exercise test and whether these indices correlate with distinct physiological parameters in …
