  • Early Respiratory Decline in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Hypercapnia, a manifestation of early respiratory dysfunction, can be challenging to detect in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. Pulmonary function tests are helpful, but their specificity in detecting hypercapnia is low and their use is limited in patients with bulbar weakness. Specific symptoms, such as dyspnea at rest, dyspnea while talking, and use of medications for sleep, can be more reliable in detecting hypercapnia among ALS patients.

  • Cheyne-Stokes Respiration in Heart Failure

    A comprehensive cardiorespiratory study of stable systolic heart failure patients showed Cheyne-Stokes breathing in the awake, upright position is related to hypercapnia and is independently associated with a higher risk of cardiac death.
