Variability in pulmonary diffusing capacity in heart failure [PDF]
, 2020 As pulmonary diffusing capacity is related to mortality risk and prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF), it is measured frequently. As such, it would be essential to know the week-to-week variability (reproducibility) of pulmonary diffusing ...

Simultaneous measurement of lung diffusing capacity and pulmonary hemodynamics reveals exertional alveolar-capillary dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
, 2021 BACKGROUND: Hemodynamic perturbations in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may alter the distribution of blood in the lungs, impair gas transfer from the alveoli into the pulmonary capillaries, and reduce lung diffusing capacity.

Association between within breath diffusing capacity (DcoWB) and workload. [PDF]
, 2012 Generalized estimating equations were used to create linear regressions representing each association. Exercise-induced increase in diffusing capacity is decreased in flight attendants with lower diffusing capacity at rest.

Influence of age on pulmonary diffusing capacity [PDF]
, 1959 The pulmonary function of 24 normal subjects ranging in age from 20 to 50 years has been studied at rest and during exercise. At rest there is a significant decrease with age in the pulmonary diffusing capacity and the level of diffusing capacity ...

The effects of lung volume reduction treatment on diffusing capacity and gas exchange
European Respiratory Review, 2020 Lung volume reduction (LVR) treatment in patients with severe emphysema has been shown to have a positive effect on hyperinflation, expiratory flow, exercise capacity and quality of life.
