Breathing, Mouth, Dyspnea, Lung Function Decreased, Shortness of Breath
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
Interventions
DEVICEOscillometer
The tremoFlo C-100 Airwave Oscillometry System is intended to measure respiratory system impedance using the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT).
