  • Title: Respiratory muscles in disease.
    Author: Tobin MJ.
    Journal: Clin Chest Med; 1988 Jun; 9(2):263-86. PubMed ID: 3292127.
    Abstract:
    The respiratory muscles play an important role in the clinical manifestations of different disease states. Respiratory muscle dysfunction plays a primary role in the development of ventilatory failure in patients with neuromuscular disorders. Although the respiratory muscles are placed at a mechanical disadvantage in patients with obstructive lung disease, there is little clinical evidence to suggest that respiratory muscle dysfunction plays a primary role in the development of ventilatory failure.
