The role and the value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in cardiology has been examined in this review study on the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
This study discusses the modern key applications of CPET in CV diseases, with primary emphasis on HF, "starting from the principles that precipitate reduced exercise performance and impaired ventilation, and highlighting...
A scientific review was made in the American Heart Journal examining 5 major gas exchange variables from CPET in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients.
The purpose of this review is to examine the role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and its most commonly used ventilatory gas exchange variables for the purpose of risk stratification and management of...
A recent study presented new reference values for peak oxygen uptake for cycle ergometry-based cardiopulmonary exercise test.
The goal of the present analysis was to generate sex-specific and age-specific reference values for cycle ergometry-based V̇ O2peak, based on a sample of more than 10000 participants from primary preventive healthcare check-ups in three German cities.
6462 men and 3628...
A new study on Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE) Journal provides updated reference values for CPET that are independent of sex and body size.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an essential tool to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in children. There is a paucity of adequate pediatric reference values that are independent of body size and pubertal stage. The...
The verification phase of the VO2max assessment has been investigated in this paper published on the Sports Medicine - Open Journal.
Commonly performed during an incremental test to exhaustion, maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) assessment has become a recurring practice in clinical and experimental settings. To validate the test, several criteria were proposed.
In this review the knowledge on...
