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,...
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...
A new study published on the Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases highlight the importance of CPET for this kind of pathologies. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is commonly used in clinical practice for both functional and diagnostic assessments of patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. It provides assessment of the integrative exercise responses involving the...
The American Heart Journal published a new article on the prognostic value of Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Test (CPX) in heart failure (HF) patients. Although cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is well established, there is limited data on the value of CPX variables in patients with HF and preserved EF (HFpEF). The study sought to...
A review study published on the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports analyzes the recent findings on exercise physiology in Alpine skiing. This review comprises more than 30 years of research and includes 4 review articles, 9 off-snow investigations of the physiological capacities of ski racers of varying ability, 29 on-snow investigations of specific physiology relating to...
