PurposeRespiratory muscle strength is measured as a maximal inspiratory pressure (PI max) and maximal expiratory pressure (PE max). The purpose of this investigation is to obtain normal maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure with respect to age, sex, height, weight and BMI in Indian population.
SubjectsIn this cross sectional study 250 subjects with age from 20 to 70 years were recruited with convenient sampling. They are divided in to five groups i.e. 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60 and 60- 70. Each group had 50 subjects (males-25 and females-25).
MethodsFor measurement of PE max the subject will inhale to near total lung capacity (TLC) and then exhale as hard as possible and for PI max the subjects exhales to near residual volume (RV) and then give a maximal inhalation effort. Three measurements were taken for each subjects and the best one was included for analysis.
ResultsThe mean value for PI max in male is (75 ± 20 cm H2O) and for PE max is (93± 33 cm H2O) and PI max in female is (48 ± 16 cm H2O) and for PE max is (60 ± 20 cm H2O).
ConclusionData obtained from this study will be useful as simple, reproducible, rapid assessment and interpretation of respiratory muscle function as well as treatment planning.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue is known to have adverse effect on local coronary health, cardiac structure and function. Echocardiography has shown to be a reliable method to measure the adipose thickness.
Aim: To study the association between epicardial adipose tissue thickness with resting and post-exercise test cardiac output.
Method: A cross-sectional study of 26 overweight and obese subjects in the age group of 20 to 50 was included. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness was measured using M-mode echocardiogram. Resting and post exercise cardiac output, ejection fraction and heart rate recovery were measured during sub-maximal exercise on treadmill.
Results: There was no significant correlation of epicardial adipose tissue thickness with resting and post-exercise cardiac output, ejection fraction and heart rate recovery.
Conclusion: Cardiac output, Ejection fractionat rest and post-exercise, also Heart rate recovery were not affected by epicardial adipose tissue thickness of less than 4 mm.
