Dyspnea
View through CrossRef
The most common causes of dyspnea are not neuromuscular but rather are cardiac and pulmonary. However, dyspnea is an important and serious manifestation of many neuromuscular disorders, and it may compound an underlying pulmonary or cardiac problem. The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle under the control ofperipheral nerves(phrenic nerves) and may be targeted by inflammatory neuropathies such as Guillain-Barrésyndrome(GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(CIDP), and brachial plexitis, myopathies such as acid maltase deficiency and muscular dystrophies, and neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis. Periodic measurement of pulmonary function isrecommended in neuromuscular clinics.
