In light of our recent @nih_nhlbi R01 award, we (@ieemphd) have a position for a #postdoc available to investigate limitations to exercise in various populations (see advertisement). Contact myself or Dr. Babb for more info. Please RT! @APSEEPSection @ACSMcareers @JobsinSportSci

A fun evening with some Dyspnea, 2024 attendees. Our next meeting... Lund, Sweden in 2026!🇸🇪

Important lessons from Alberto Neder @QueensRIU on physiological studies for investigating residual exertional dyspnea in cardiopulmonary disease #CPET #Dyspnea2024

[UTSW Heart @utswheart]

UT Southwestern's Dr. Benjamin Levine was recently featured on FoundMyFitness Podcast and shared some of his expert insights on how exercise prevents & reverses heart aging.

Respiratory symptom perception during exercise in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: While dyspnea on exertion provokes negative emotions, it is more related to pulmonary mechanism than central and/or peripheral in HFpEF

Our lab at @IEEMPHD has an open position for a #postdoc to investigate cardiopulmonary limitations to exercise in various populations (e.g., HFpEF, obesity, post-PE syndrome). Contact myself or Dr. Babb for more information. Please RT! @JobsinSportSci @ACSMcareers @APSEEPSection

@cwiggs5 Funny, had the same conversation with our guys today!

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

We have a position open for a Research Associate in the Pulmonary Physiology Lab at the IEEM. Please RT!

Could ventilatory limitations be the source of #exercise intolerance and #dyspnea in patients with #HFpEF? @UTSWNews @UTSWInternalMed @nih_nhlbi

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

Congrats to med student, Josh Goh, on his first first-authored publication where he used @TriNetX to show that #obesity (independent of other dyspnea-inducing conditions) increases the risk of #dyspnea. @UTSWNews @UTSWInternalMed #respiratory #physiology

Great to see our work (@UTSWInternalMed) in the latest issue of @journal_CHEST - Reducing #PCWP worsens ventilatory efficiency and increases #dyspnea during exercise in #HFpEF. Editorial on pg. 574.

We continue to look for a Research Assistant to work in our Thermal and Vascular Physiology laboratory at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. Candidate must be employable within the US without an H-1B visa and available to start this summer.

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

@QueensRIU Good question - it's possible that an altered distribution of, and/or a decrease in, pulmonary blood flow via decreasing pulmonary vascular pressures due to decreasing venous return could limit the ability to adequately perfuse the ventilated apices of the lung.

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

Excited to see our paper published online today in @journal_CHEST, which challenges the widespread view that the marked rise in PCWP during exercise is deterministic for provoking exertional #dyspnea in #HFpEF. @IEEMPHD @UTSWInternalMed @nih_nhlbi

https://t.co/ffQriWIAuj

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

More evidence that breathing limitations are prevalent in #HFpEF.

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

Extremely excited to see our latest collaborative effort in @CircAHA. Though high pcwp is a diagnostic marker for #HFpEF, it appears not the primary cause of exercise intolerance in these patients.

[Circulation @CircAHA]

#OriginalResearch: In HFpEF, acutely lowering PCWP during exercise with nitro did not improve VO2 suggesting elevated PCWP during exercise not the primary cause of limits in exercise capacity #AHAJournals https://t.co/52M3205nWc

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

Our latest work in @journal_CHEST contributing to the knowledge on gas exchange abnormalities in HFpEF. Editorial on page 1233 of this issue as well. https://t.co/k2zQABDRwX

[Bryce N. Balmain, PhD @BryceBalmainPhD]

Nice start to the weekend! Some of the first evidence of ventilatory responses during exercise in burn survivors accepted in @MSSEonline @ACSMNews. Congrats @Joseph_Watso!
