Pathological alterations of inspiratory capacity (IC) have been observed in pulmonary hypertension. However, the clinical significance of IC in operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) without other pulmonary diseases remains unknown. CTEPH patients scheduled for pulmonary endarterectomy were prospectively screened. Despite being associated with functional capacity, pathological alterations of IC were not observed.
在肺动脉高压中已观察到吸气容量(IC)的病理改变。然而,IC在无其他肺部疾病的可手术慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压(CTEPH)中的临床意义仍不清楚。对计划进行肺动脉内膜剥脱术的CTEPH患者进行了前瞻性筛查。尽管IC与功能能力相关,但未观察到IC的病理改变。
