BACKGROUND: Exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited by both breathlessness and leg muscle fatigue. Neural respiratory drive, measured as diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) activity expressed as a proportion of maximum (EMGdi%max), quantifies the mechanical load on the respiratory muscles and relates closely to breathlessness. We tested the hypothesis that end-exercise EMGdi%max would be higher in patients stopping because of breathlessness than in those limited by leg fatigue.
METHODS: EMGdi, ventilation, rate of oxygen consumption (VO2), and ventilatory reserve (ventilation/maximum ventilatory volume ratio [VE/MVV]) were measured continuously in patients with COPD during exhaustive cycle ergometry. EMGdi was measured with a multipair oesophageal catheter passed per-nasally. Differences in physiological variables between groups of patients stopping because of breathlessness, leg fatigue, or both were assessed with one-way ANOVA.
FINDINGS: 23 patients were included (median FEV1, 39% of predicted, IQR 30·0-56·8). End-exercise EMGdi%max was significantly higher in patients stopping exercise because of breathlessness (n=12, median EMGdi%max 75·7% [IQR 69·5-77·1]) than in those stopping because of leg fatigue (n=8, 44·1 [39·4-63·3]) or both (n=3, 74·1 [63·6-81·2]) (p=0·02). There were no significant differences between the groups in end-exercise ventilation (breathlessness 25·7 L/min [16·3-32·0] vs leg fatigue 31·5 [20·9-39·6] vs both 22·0 [17·7-35·7]), VO2, (13·4 mL/min per kg [11·6-14·2] vs 12·1 [10·4-14·8] vs 9·4 [9·1-12·4]), or VE/MVV (80·4% [72·6-88·3] vs 57·8 [52·1-92·6] vs 63·9 [34·5-88·9]).
INTERPRETATION: These results suggest that patients limited by breathlessness due to ventilatory constraints can be identified as those reaching near-maximum levels of neural respiratory drive during exercise. Measurement of EMGdi%max during exercise could prove useful in identifying patients whose functional performance would be best optimised by improvment in pulmonary mechanics rather than interventions to train peripheral muscle groups.
FUNDING: None.
