Respiratory Muscle Function Tests and Diaphragm Ultrasound Predict Nocturnal Hypoventilation in Slowly Progressive Myopathies

Introduction: In slowly progressive myopathies, diaphragm weakness early manifests through sleep-related hypoventilation as reflected by nocturnal hypercapnia. This study investigated whether daytime tests of respiratory muscle function and diaphragm ultrasound predict hypercapnia during sleep.Metho...
