Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is ideally suited to quantify exercise tolerance and
evaluate the pathophysiological mechanism (s) of dyspnea and exercise limitation in people …

Introduction Exertional dyspnoea is the primary diagnostic symptom for chronic
cardiopulmonary disease populations. Whilst a number of exercise tests are used, there …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient care must include confirming a diagnosis

Abstract Context The Dyspnoea-12 (D-12) and Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP)
were specifically developed for assessment of multiple sensations of breathlessness …

Background Exertional breathlessness is commonly assessed using incremental exercise
testing (IET), but reference equations for breathlessness responses are lacking. We aimed to …

Inflammation is an adaptive response to both external and internal stimuli including
infection, trauma, surgery, ischemia-reperfusion, or malignancy. A number of studies …

Background Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of
