Should routine pulmonary function tests be performed in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and/or congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery?

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background It is controversial whether pulmonary function testing should be performed routinely in cardiac surgery patients. The aim of our study was to focus on patients who have congestive heart failure, caused by left ventricular dysfunction or left ...

Pulmonary function testing in infants with tetralogy of Fallot and absent pulmonary valve syndrome

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2015
Aim: Absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS) is found in 3-6% of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Along with findings of TOF, absence of pulmonary valve tissue results in aneurysmal dilatation of the main and branch pulmonary arteries compressing ...

A comparative study of bronchodilator response: utilizing pre-bronchodilator versus predicted normal values

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background A positive bronchodilator response has been defined as a 12% increase in the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) from their respective pre-bronchodilator values, combined with at least a 0.2 L absolute ...
