Average respiratory pressures (cm H2O) in ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) reported in previous studies
| Study | Disease | PimaxFRC | PimaxRV | PemaxFRC | PemaxTLC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| McParland3 | ICM/IDCM | 86/72 | 96/73 | 130/90 | 146/117 |
| Hammond2 | ICM/IDCM | 45/34 | 49/41 | 63/58 | 78/61 |
FRC, functional residual capacity; Pemax, maximum static expiratory pressure; Pimax, maximum static inspiratory pressure; RV, residual volume; TLC, total lung capacity.
