A new review on the Current Opinion on Cardiiology Journal addresses the clinical approach to utilize CPET in the evaluation and management of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is growing clinical interest for the use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to evaluate patients with or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). With mounting evidence, this concise review with relevant teaching...
A new study on Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE) Journal investigates the repeatability of CPET parameters in normal healthy subjects. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has many important clinical and research applications. Defining repeatability of CPET measurements is important when determining a response to a therapy or training program, or monitoring disease progression. The...
The European Journal of Applied Physiology is publishing a series of reviews examining some historical insights into the measurement of whole body metabolic rate. This review is focusing on portable research based devices designed to estimate metabolic rates during typically steady-state conditions, and areas that contribute to measurement errors or other reliability and usability issues. Over...
A new position paper on CPET from the Committee on Exercise Physiology and Training of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology was published in the European Journal of Heart Failure. The aim of the present paper is to review the prognostic role of CPET in Heart Failure (HF) considering the individual patient characteristics, the modality of CPET execution, and newer...
A study published on the Respiratory Medicine Journal investigates the need for additional research on smokers with respiratory symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, or sputum production) and normal spirometry. The purpose of this study was to evaulate whether symptomatic smokers with borderline spirometry (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio between 5th to 20th percentile of predicted values) have pulmonary...
