Key Words	Ultrasonography; Diaphragm; Phrenic nerve; Hemidiaphragm; Thickening fraction; Physiotherapy
Core Tip	Diaphragm dysfunction can be secondary to cardiac surgery or atrial fibrillation ablation via phrenic nerve injury. In patients with comorbidities such as obesity and cardiac or respiratory diseases, unilateral diaphragm paralysis may be poorly tolerated. Diaphragm ultrasound is the most appropriate tool for early diagnosis.
