Evaluating breathing difficulties using exercise testing and oscillometry

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the relationship between airway resistance, measured by oscillometry, and abnormal findings from cardiopulmonary exercise testing in individuals experiencing shortness of breath. Participants will undergo both tests to determine if there is a correlation between the two measures. The study focuses on patients referred for cardiopulmonary exercise testing and will utilize an oscillometer to gather data on airway resistance. The findings could enhance understanding of dyspnea and improve diagnostic approaches.
