This study uses a new breathing device called 'N-Tidal C' handset which measures breathing patterns. Investigators have found that people with cardiac and respiratory illnesses breathe out a gas, called carbon dioxide (CO2), in a different way to healthy people. The pattern of breathed out CO2 (the waveform) varies according to the underlying health of the user's lungs. Monitoring these changes may help doctors to more accurately diagnose and monitor the most common and serious respiratory conditions.
