Abstract：
:We investigated the contributions of obesity on multidimensional aspects of dyspnea on exertion (DOE) in patients referred for clinical cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Ratings of perceived breathlessness (RPB, Borg scale 0-10) were collected in obese (BMI ≥ 30; n = 47) and nonobese (BMI ≤ 25; n = 27) patients during two (one lower: ∼30 W; and one higher: ∼50 W) 4-6 min constant load cycling bouts. Multidimensional dyspnea profiles (MDP) were collected in the final 26 obese and 14 nonobese patients of the sample. RPB was greater (p = 0.05) in obese (3.3 ± 2.2 vs 2.4 ± 1.4) at lower work rates, but similar at higher work rates (4.9 ± 2.2 vs 4.4 ± 1.8). MDP sensory score including unpleasantness was 4.3 ± 2.2 in obese vs 2.5 ± 1.9 in nonobese (p < 0.001). The affective score was 1.9 ± 2.2 vs 0.7 ± 0.7, respectively (p < 0.01). Breathing sensations including 'air hunger', 'effort', and 'breathing at lot' were greater (p < 0.05) in obese, making these patients more frustrated/angry (p < 0.05). Obesity should be considered as a potential independent influencing factor that provokes DOE and unpleasantness when assessing breathlessness during CPET.
