Inspiratory muscle weakness contributes to exertional dyspnea in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Inspiratory muscle weakness contributes to exertional dyspnea in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Determination of potentially-reversible factors contributing to exertional dyspnea remains an unmet clinical need in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the influence of inspiratory muscle weakness (IMW) on exercise capacity and dyspnea during effor...
