While respiratory muscle dysfunction is well-documented, it’s often an underdiagnosed cause of dyspnea, and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Sources range from focal diaphragm dysfunction to systemic neuromuscular disease, often with overlooked symptoms and delayed diagnosis. This CME activity is divided into three sections, with a focus on general approach and diagnostic modalities for patients with suspected respiratory muscle impairment, surgical interventions for unilateral diaphragm dysfunction, and evaluation and treatment of systemic neuromuscular diseases.
