Invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing for the evaluation of unexplained and complex multifactorial BREATHlessnEss (i-BREATHE) [ 1/1/2021 - 6/30/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Breathlessness is a common symptom that can be caused by diseases of the heart, lungs or muscles. It is not uncommon that the cause is undiagnosed either because conventional tests do not yield a diagnosis, or because an individual suffers from multiple diseases. This research aims to use invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing, a highly specialised test which simultaneously measures breathing, heart and muscle function, to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with breathlessness.
