1800s, pulmonary function tests (PFTs) have expanded to include spirometry; lung volumes; carbon monoxide-diffusing capacity (DLCO) (transfer factor); respiratory muscle performance; and exercise and functional testing, such as the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (...
In the present study, we aimed to determine the impact of lung transplantation (LTx) on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and survival among patients with end-stage silicosis. We included patients with end-stange silicosis on the wait list for LTx, between January 1989 and July 2015 (N=26)....
The imaging diagnostic approach is important for the evaluation of pulmonary fibrosis resolution with a repeated chest CT scan); cardiac function with a cardiac ultrasound; neurologic and cognitive disorders with brain magnetic resonance imaging, etc. [166]. It is important to mention that some ...

Demographics, functional class, clinical history of ILD, chest computed tomography, pulmonary function test (PFT), ECHO results including RV size, function, RV systolic pressure (RVSP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and RV index of myo...
DLCO (lung diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide) was at the lower limit of normal. A ventilation-perfusion scan excluded pulmonary emboli. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing demonstrated good exercise capacity (peak VO2 40.8 ml/kg/min). An abrupt desaturation was seen at the respiratory compensation ...
The tests includes serum BNP, %DLCO and %VC/%DLCO by pulmonary function test, thermography of hand with cold stress, resting tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (rest TRPG), maximum TRPG and mPpa-Q estimated by DE with Master's two-step stress. Then, the expressed genes in peripheral ...
