Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Oscillometry for the Evaluation of Dyspnea

University of Rochester50 enrolled

Overview

This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Oscillometry, is associated with abnormal findings on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in subjects who are experiencing shortness of breath.
