Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Exercise oscillatory ventilation: mechanisms, therapeutic targets and prognostic value
- EOV: cyclic fluctuation of minute ventilation, tidal volume, oxygen uptake, CO2 production and end-tidal O2/CO2 pressure on cardiopulmonary exercise testing
- Mechanism: dysregulated ventilatory feedback control (chemoreflex delay, chemoreflex gain, plant delay, plant gain)
- Review of therapeutic targets by pathophysiology and prognostic value in HF and other diagnoses
