Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides valuable diagnostic insights in these challenging cases. We present a case series of five young women (mean age 23.2\u2009years) who underwent comprehensive evaluation including CPET and body plethysmography for persistent exertional dyspnea. All patients demonstrated characteristic CPET findings of oscillatory breathing patterns, preserved ventilatory reserve, elevated VE\/VCO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> slope, and absence of oxygen desaturation. Body plethysmography revealed consistently elevated residual volumes (162%\u2013296% predicted) and RV\/TLC ratios (40.39%\u201350.21%). CPET is crucial for diagnosing DB in young patients with unexplained dyspnea. The consistent plethysmography abnormalities suggest potential underlying airway pathology or maladaptive breathing patterns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/rcr2.70336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,1]],"date-time":"2025-09-01T03:09:17Z","timestamp":1756696157000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Dysfunctional Breathing: A Case Series of Five Young Women"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2255-9505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arup","family":"Haldar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Calcutta Medical Research Institute Hospital  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6742-5674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raja","family":"Dhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonology The Calcutta Medical Research Institute Hospital  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1763-3311","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diptendu","family":"Dey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Medicine The Calcutta Medical Research Institute Hospital  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3019-9925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amrita","family":"Bhattacharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Intensive Care Unit The Calcutta Medical Research Institute Hospital  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0926-1203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beauty","family":"Biswas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Calcutta Medical Research Institute Hospital  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5014-4294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shyam","family":"Krishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Calcutta Medical Research Institute Hospital  Kolkata India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/1806\u20103713\/e20170347"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.322.7294.1098"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/hrt.2007.121558"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2020.620955"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5935\/abc.20160171"},{"volume-title":"Physiology, Residual Volume","year":"2023","author":"Lofrese J.
