Feltman et al. (1952) conducted a case report in Cardiac failure secondary to ineffective bellows action of the chest cage (n=2). Ineffective bellows action of the chest cage was evaluated on Development of congestive heart failure and pulmonary insufficiency. Ineffective bellows action of the chest cage can lead to hypoxemia, secondary polycythemia, pulmonary hypertension, and ultimately congestive heart failure.
