Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a major concern, with mortality rates around 30–45% [1, 2]. The severity of disease is often assessed using the PaO2/FiO2 ratio (mainly to optimize treatment strategies), even though the prognostic power of this variable remains low to modera...
Patients without known respiratory disease who complain of dyspnea or fatigue during exercise undergo noninvasive cardiac imaging that establishes the diagnosis of heart failure when it demonstrates left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. When patients with stable COPD complain of dyspnea or fatigue during exer...
