Dyspnea is a frequent presenting complaint. The assess of this symptom is problematic when its cause is unknown once the initial diagnosis tests are done.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is an important clinical tool to evaluate dyspnea as it provides an approach to the integrative exercise responses involving all the organ systems. This would not be possible to reflect by means of individual studies.
