[Evolution over time in over perceivers of dyspnea in asthma].
2006
OBJECTIVE: In previous studies we identified a subgroup of patients whose perception of breathlessness was exaggerated during acute bronchoconstriction and who were termed “over perceivers” or “hyperperceivers.” In this study we aimed to determine whether such over perception is sporadic or stable over time. We also examined whether there is an association between over perception of dyspnea and hyperventilation syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The subjects were 22 stable asthmatics (11 men, 11 women) who had been over perceivers of dyspnea in a study 9 years earlier. After a medical history was taken, a patient performed forced spirometry and a severity classification was made according to t…
Evolución temporal de la percepción exagerada de disnea en los pacientes con asma
2006
Objetivo: En investigaciones previas para estudiar la percepcion de disnea de los asmaticos durante la broncoconstriccion aguda, encontramos un subgrupo de pacientes que presentaban una percepcion exagerada (hiperperceptores). En el presente trabajo hemos querido comprobar si esta alteracion perceptiva es un fenomeno esporadico o mantenido en el tiempo. Asimismo nos planteamos conocer si existe una asociacion entre la hiperpercepcion de la disnea y el sindrome de hiperventilacion. Pacientes y metodos: Se incluyo en el estudio a 22 asmaticos estables que en un estudio realizado 9 anos antes se habian mostrado hiperperceptores de disnea (11 varones y 11 mujeres). Tras una espirometria forzada…
