Abstract
Activity-related dyspnea in chronic lung disease is centrally related to dynamic (dyn) inspiratory constraints to tidal volume expansion. Lack of reference values for exertional inspiratory reserve (IR) has limited the yield of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in exposing the underpinnings of this disabling symptom. One hundred fifty apparently healthy subjects (82 males) aged 40–85 underwent incremental cycle ergometry. Based on exercise inspiratory capacity (ICdyn), we generated centile-based reference values for the following metrics of IR as a function of absolute ventilation: IRdyn1 ([1-(tidal volume/ICdyn)] x 100) and IRdyn2 ([1-(end-inspiratory lung volume/total lung capacity] x 100). IRdyn1 and IRdyn2 standards were typically lower in females and older subjects (p<0.05 for sex and age versus ventilation interactions). Low IRdyn1 and IRdyn2 significantly predicted the burden of exertional dyspnea in both sexes (p<0.01). Using these sex and age-adjusted limits of reference, the clinician can adequately judge the presence and severity of abnormally low inspiratory reserves in dyspneic subjects undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
