In his review of the Proceedings of the First International
Workshop on Respiratory Muscles in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease, organized in Montescano in 1986, Thomas K. Aldrich stated
that "there is little information on nutrition". We felt that the
need to supplement the evaluation of respiratory muscles by
studying nutritional problems was an important enough matter to
justify producing a specific study on the subject. This book is the
result of the efforts made in this direction. Since 1986, many of
the problems associated with nutrition and ventilatory function
have been elucidated, and we hope that the contents of this book
may contribute towards spreading interest and knowledge in this
sector, particularly among those working in the field of
respiratory rehabilitation. The physiological and clinical aspects
of nutritional problems and the therapeutic approaches adopted in
different disease conditions are dealt with in these pages by some
of the best-known researchers in the field, providing abundant
evidence, if any should be needed, that rehabilitation is not
merely exercise. The picture strongly emerging over these last few
years is that rehabilitation is not merely a matter of knowledge of
lung or respiratory muscles, but also of heart-lung interaction,
metabolic equilibrium and nutrition. So much for recent
developments, but what does the future hold in store? May 1992
RENATO CORSICO Preface Nutrition and ventilation are inextricably
related.
