Dynamic Hyperinflation Impairs Cardiac Performance During Exercise in COPD
Purpose:
To investigate the correlation between a plateau in minute ventilation

Methods:
This retrospective study analyzed 2575 CPETs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study randomly selected 10 patients with a plateau in the

Results:
The patients with dynamic hyperinflation presented with lower ventilation at 100% work rate (P
