Exercise impairment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Clin Chest Med.
1984 Mar.
Abstract
This article reviews factors that may limit exercise performance in patients with COPD. These factors include alteration in pulmonary mechanics, respiratory muscle fatigue, impairment in pulmonary gas exchange, abnormal perception of breathlessness and ventilatory control, cor pulmonale, and poor nutritional status. The clinical application of exercise testing in patients with COPD and the role of various therapeutic modalities in altering exercise performance in COPD are discussed.
