Association of Oscillatory Ventilation during Cardiopulmonary Test to Clinical ...
Reis,Hugo Valverde; Sperandio,Priscila Abreu; Correa,Clynton Lourenço; Guizilini,Solange; Neder,José Alberto; Borghi-Silva,Audrey; Reis,Michel SilvaAbstract Objective: The aim of this study is to characterize the presence of exercise oscillatory ventilation (EOV) and to relate it with other cardiopulmonary exercise test (CET) responses and clinical variables. Methods: Forty-six male patients (age: 53.1±13.6 years old; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]: 30±8%) with heart failure were recruited to perform a maximal CET and to correlate the CET respon...
Influence of heart failure on resting lung volumes in patients with COPD
Souza,Aline Soares de; Sperandio,Priscila Abreu; Mazzuco,Adriana; Alencar,Maria Clara; Arbex,Flávio Ferlin; Oliveira,Mayron Faria deABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the influence of chronic heart failure (CHF) on resting lung volumes in patients with COPD, i.e., inspiratory fraction-inspiratory capacity (IC)/TLC-and relative inspiratory reserve-[1 − (end-inspiratory lung volume/TLC)]. Methods: This was a prospective study involving 56 patients with COPD-24 (23 males/1 female) with COPD+CHF and 32 (28 males/4 females) with COPD only-who, afte...
