Should not change clinical practice; hypothesis-generating for fiber-type-independent diaphragmatic oxygen kinetics in human disease.
Microvascular oxygen pressure kinetics are significantly faster in the highly oxidative diaphragm compared with the low-oxidative spinotrapezius muscle, independent of muscle fiber-type composition.
Geer et al. (2002) studied this question.
