Physiological And Perceptual Responses To Exercise According To The Locus Of Symptom Limitation In Patients With Copd
EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY JOURNAL(2018)
摘要
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease, with pulmonary and extra-pulmonary factors contributing to exercise intolerance. The primary self-reported exercise-limiting symptom may reflect the primary pathophysiological factor contributing to exercise intolerance. We compared physiological and perceptual responses at the symptom-limited peak of incremental cardiopulmonary cycle exercise testing between people with COPD reporting breathlessness (B, n = 34), leg discomfort (LD, n = 16), or a combination of B and LD (BOTH, n = 42) as their main exercise-limiting symptom(s). Despite similarly impaired health status, symptomology and peak exercise capacity, the B group had greater restrictive constraints on tidal volume expansion at end-exercise and was more likely to report unpleasant qualities of exertional breathlessness than LD and BOTH groups. In conclusion, reporting breathlessness as the primary exercise-limiting symptom indicated the presence of distinct lung pathophysiology and symptom perception during exercise in people with COPD.
