Skeletal muscle oxygenation and regional blood volume during incremental limb loading in interstitial lung disease
Introduction Individuals with interstitial lung disease (ILD) exhibit reduced exercise capacity and exertional hypoxaemia. The role of peripheral (muscle) limitation to exercise tolerance in ILD is not well studied to date. Methods A prospective cross-sectional study examined skeletal muscle oxygen...
