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:
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology (RESPNB) publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning physiology and pathophysiology of respiration in its broadest sense.
Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high-quality papers in traditional areas, such as:
-Mechanics of breathing-
Gas exchange and acid-base balance-
Respiration at rest and exercise-
Respiration in unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen-
Embryonic and adult respiration-
Comparative respiratory physiology.
Papers on clinical aspects, original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology.
