The Journal of Patient-centred Research and Reviews published a study that validation a simplified diagnostic algorithm involving only six CPX variables. The study start from the asumption that CPX testing is underutilized by cardiologists due to complex diagnostic algorithms involving up to 30 variables as well as lack of validation studies. In addition, CPX also provides oxygen (O2) pulse as...
A new study on Cardiology Journal investigates the role of the information obtained by Cardiopulmonary Exercise test in patients with limited aortic valve area (AVA). The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility, reproducibility, safety and information obtained on exercise physiology from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) in patients with aortic stenosis. Patients with an...
The Preventive Cardiology Jornal published a new study investigating the prognostic value of CPET in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) are exercise parameters that can predict cardiac morbidity in patients with numerous heart diseases. But the predictive value in patients with tetralogy of Fallot is still...
A study on the European Surgery Journal compares the preoperative predictive value of spirometry and CPET in patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery. The aim of the study is to determine the predictive value of spirometry and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) preoperatively in patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery. The study compared the preoperative...
A new study covering both laboratory and field test assessments, published International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, investigates on the maximal aerobic power of elite Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) athletes. 10 internationally and nationally ranked elite SUP athletes were assessed in a laboratory and compared with other water-based athletes (surfing, dragon-boat racing, and...
