The role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to provide a comprehensive assessment of exercise tolerance and responses in multiple sclerosis patients has been examined in a study on the Sports Medicine Journal. The objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive examination of outcome variables from CPET among persons with MS and healthy controls. Research on CPET in persons with...

A study from the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation & Prevention analyses the reliability of gas exchange variables derived from CPET. Gas exchange variables derived from cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPETs) need to be reliable for evaluating interventions and clinical decision making. Whereas peak oxygen uptake (VO2) has shown to be a highly reliable parameter in patients with coronary...

A review study on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) used as a preoperative risk-stratification tool for patients undergoing non-cardiopulmonary intra-abdominal surgery has been published on the British Journal of Anesthesia. Previous studies indicate that CPET may be beneficial, but research is needed to quantify CPET values protective against poor postoperative outcome [mortality, morbidity,...

The relevance of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) systemic sclerosis (SSc) has been analysed in a study published in "Respiration; International Review of Thoracic Diseases" Journal. Exercise impairment is a common symptom of systemic sclerosis (SSc), a disorder which is frequently complicated by cardiopulmonary involvement. This study's aims were: to define the prevalence and the potential...
