Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and pulmonary function testing for predicting the severity of CTEPH
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021 Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and pulmonary function testing (PFT) are noninvasive methods to evaluate the respiratory and circulatory systems. This research aims to evaluate and monitor chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (

Pulmonary function tests [PDF]
Rheumatology, 2008 Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in SSc patients. In autopsy studies, up to 70% of the SSc patients show histological evidence of lung involvement. In surgical lung biopsies from SSc-ILD patients, a pattern of non-specific interstitial pneumonia is present in a majority ...

Long-term variability of impulse oscillometry and spirometry in stable COPD and asthma
Respiratory Research, 2022 Background While optimizing spirometry is a challenge for lung function labs, long-term variability if any between IOS (impulse oscillometry) parameters and spirometry is not clearly known in stable COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and ...
