Hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients worsens on exertion/exercise when breathing frequency increases. Fast breathing, paced at 40 breaths per minute using a metronome (metronome-paced tachypnea, MPT), induces dynamic hyperinflation (DH) and can be performed during MRI. MPT in combination with phase-resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI can be used to assess stress-driven ventilation dynamics globally and regionally.

Lung dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is one of the main determinants of dyspnea in chronic respiratory disease patients. Producing evidence of DH is critical during dyspnea assessment, the objectives being to explain the cause, to target treatments, and to monitor their efficacy. The gold standard method consists in repeated measurement of inspiratory capacity (IC) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

Home-based lung function measurements can be used to capture day-to-day variations in symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is clinically relevant, existing home-based measurements do not include its assessment. DH can be measured through inspiratory capacity (IC) measurements before and after metronome-paced tachypnea test (MPT).
