Pulmonary hypertension in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - the predictive value of exercise capacity and gas exchange efficiency. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Exercise capacity and survival of patients with IPF is potentially impaired by pulmonary hypertension. This study aims to investigate diagnostic and prognostic properties of gas exchange during exercise and lung function in IPF patients with or without ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma: care gaps in screening
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2017 One in six patients with systemic sclerosis will develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Screening with echocardiography and possibly pulmonary function testing (to determine the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide) is recommended to detect PAH ...

Physiology of the lung in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
European Respiratory Review, 2018 The clinical expression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is directly related to multiple alterations in lung function. These alterations derive from a complex disease process affecting all compartments of the lower respiratory system, from the ...

Diffusing capacity in acute untreated tropical eosinophilia [PDF]
, 1988 Single breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (TLCO) measurements were made in 50 acute untreated tropical eosinophilia (TE) patients. Forty-four (38%) patients had a low diffusing capacity (< 85% predicted) which was moderately severe (40- 70 ...
