Why the study?
The study evaluated the reproducibility of using the inert gas rebreathing method to estimate cardiac output at rest and during cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
Does the inert gas rebreathing method provide reproducible estimates of cardiac output at rest and during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in healthy subjects?

Supports reproducible CO estimates by inert gas rebreathing in healthy subjects; extends validation data but leaves open clinical adoption.
Does the inert gas rebreathing method provide reproducible estimates of cardiac output at rest and during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in healthy subjects?
The inert gas rebreathing method demonstrates an acceptable level of test-retest reproducibility for estimating cardiac output at rest and during cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
