Inspiratory muscle load and capacity in chronic heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 2004
Although breathlessness is common in chronic heart failure (CHF), the role of inspiratory muscle dysfunction remains unclear. We hypothesised that inspiratory muscle endurance, expressed as a function of endurance time (Tlim) adjusted for inspiratory muscle load and inspiratory muscle capacity, would be reduced in CHF.Endurance was measured in 10 ...

Effect of acute and chronic pressure-threshold inspiratory muscle training on upper and lower airway function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.There is evidence to suggest that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may influence the functional properties of the muscles of the upper (UA) and lower (LA ...

Comparing the Inspiratory Capacity Measurements Obtained by Incentive Spirometry and Ultrasonic Spirography in the Early Postoperative Period in Cardiac Surgery Patients

open access: yesОбщая реаниматология, 2023
Incentive spirometry is one of the most common methods used for respiratory rehabilitation in the early period after cardiac surgery. Inspiratory capacity values, obtained by a patient using spirometer, are not reliably trusted.Objectives.

Acute Cardiorespiratory Responses to Inspiratory Pressure Threshold Loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Purpose: We tested the acute responses to differing pressure threshold inspiratory loading intensities in well-trained rowers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate 1) how the magnitude of inspiratory pressure threshold loading influences repetition ...

Comparison of inspiratory and expiratory lung and lobe volumes among supine, standing, and sitting positions using conventional and upright CT

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Currently, no clinical studies have compared the inspiratory and expiratory volumes of unilateral lung or of each lobe among supine, standing, and sitting positions. In this prospective study, 100 asymptomatic volunteers underwent both low-radiation-dose

Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Exercise Tolerance in Asthmatic Individuals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on exercise tolerance, inspiratory muscle fatigue, and the perception of dyspnea in asthmatic individuals. Using a matched double-blind placebo-controlled design, 15

The Value of Measuring Inspiratory Capacity in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Care, 2018
BACKGROUND: Inspiratory capacity (IC) is often overlooked as an important measured index of spirometry in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Abnormally low IC may indicate the onset of static/dynamic hyperinflation, which may be accompanied by dyspnea and an increase in the work of ...
