Ryan: And what's causing your problem, specific to you rather than saying, "It's not this organ, it's not that organ," but actually say, "Listen, this is what's going on." Diagnosing Shortness of Breath Interviewer: And what's causing your problem.ĭr. So all of these things tie together and we really wanted to break down the traditional barriers in medicine which are organ-based barriers, which are incredibly artificial and evolve into a more patient-centered approach in order to figure out what it is that's going on with you and what we can do to help you. Therefore, in dyspnea when you have the chronic shortness of breath in the setting with exertion, there will be knock-on effects on your heart, on your lungs, on your waist, and also, incidentally actually, on your mood as well. The analogy we give when people come in is that if your work life isn't going well, your home life likely won't be going well either, because everything just has a knock-on effect. People have problems with their heart and problems with their lungs and then become deconditioned, and then their shortness of breath begets more shortness of breath and begets more dyspnea. However, most of the time that we see is a combination. Then sometimes, of course, it can be due to deconditioning. Obesity in particular can also contribute to it. Other times it's due to chronic lung disease asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, etc. A lot of the time it's due to stiff hearts or diastolic dysfunction. Ryan: Dyspnea is, as you described, a shortness of breath on exertion. Tell me, dyspnea what causes it? Dyspnea Causesĭr. It's one of the first clinics of its kind and currently the only one here in the Mountain West region.
John Ryan is the director of the new dyspnea clinic here at the University of Utah Division of Cardiology. Interviewer: If you have chronic shortness of breath while exerting yourself or exercising, it could be a condition called dyspnea. From University of Utah Health, this is.
