To demonstrate the clinical usefulness of the treadmill exercise test in patients with chronic lung diseases (CLD), 272 consecutive tests done from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1988 were analyzed. The subjects mainly consisted of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). With the present incremental treadmill protocol the maximal stage attained by a patient or distance walked were closely related to the patient's maximal oxygen uptake. Comparing symptoms and cardio-pulmonary response, and exercise performance between patients with COPD and those with ILD, there was an evident difference in the exercise limiting factor (s): in the former ventilatory limitation was the most important whereas in the latter gas exchange and oxygen transport was critical. Assessment of breathlessness during the exercise test using the Borg scale was useful in evaluating various therapeutic modalities such as oxygen supplementation. In conclusion, the exercise performance in patients with CLD was properly assessed with the present treadmill protocol and the information derived thereby was of great clinical significance.
