Abstract

PEFR (Peak Expiratory Flow Rate) measurements were obtained from 49 patients with acute mild or severe dyspnea due to chronic obstructive lung disease or congestive heart failure. PEFR values were 250±73 L/min in congestive heart failure group and 112±36 L/min in chronic obstructive lung disease group There was a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.001). This result suggests that PEFR may be a usefull simple and cheap device to differanciate acute dyspnea of cardiac or pulmonary origins.
