Pulmonary Vascular Volume by Quantitative CT in Dyspneic Smokers with Minor Emphysema

COPD, 2023
Reduced lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at rest and increased ventilation (⩒E)-carbon dioxide output (⩒CO2) during exercise are frequent findings in dyspneic smokers with largely preserved FEV1.

Association between serum ferritin level and decreased diffusion capacity 3 months after the onset of COVID-19 pneumonia.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia can have prolonged sequelae and lead to respiratory dysfunction, mainly because of impaired diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO).

Lung function in relation to six-minute walk test in pulmonary hypertension

European Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2020
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disorder of the pulmonary circulation, associated with diverse medical conditions. Exercise limitation is the most prominent symptom in PH. Exercise capacity, commonly assessed through a six-minute
