Abstract
Two recent publications in Pediatric Pulmonology had methodological
limitations in evaluating exercise-induced dyspnea (EID). Testing that
does not include concurrence of dyspnea with an abnormality may provide
misleading information to the detriment of the patient. Reproducing the
patient’s dyspnea during cardiopulmonary monitoring provides the
etiology of at least 7 causes of EID, many of which may not otherwise be
identified.
