Supports protocol flexibility for DLCO assessment; leaves open confirmation in clinical populations.
Observational (n=8)
Absolute Event Rate: 56% vs 51%
The linear relationship between DLCO and pulmonary blood flow remains consistent across different exercise protocols, enabling reliable comparisons.
Charloux et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=8). Incremental exercise test vs. Intermittent exercise test was evaluated on Highest values of DLCO (mL/mmHg/min). The linear relationships between diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide and pulmonary blood flow were similar during both incremental and intermittent exercise tests.
