Airflow Limitation Is Accompanied by Diaphragm Dysfunction

Abstract: Chronic airflow limitation, caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or by asthma, is believed to change the shape and the position of the diaphragm due to an increase in lung volume. We have made a comparison of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of diaphragm in supine position with pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle function and exercise tolerance. We have studied the differences between patients with COPD, patients with asthma, and healthy subjects. Most interestingly we found the lung hype… Show more

“…viruses or allergens), would lead to a vicious cycle of hypersensitive responses (Song and Chang 2015). There is also progress in the identification of various signalling pathways (Hellebrandová et al 2016) involved in the sensitization of the TRP channels by pro-inflammatory agents (Kádková et al 2017).…”

“…Another important advantage of chest MRI over chest CT is that it allows us to acquire simultaneous information on lung structure and function without using ionising radiation. This opens up new ways to study lung mechanics in asthmatic subjects [59].…”
