Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology for evaluating patient symptoms, disease severity, and prognosis.
CPET is a valuable tool for evaluating the interaction of multiple physiological systems during exertion to assess symptoms, severity, and prognosis of cardiopulmonary disease.
AbstractBecause symptoms of cardiopulmonary disease often occur with exertion, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has a unique role in the assessment of patient symptoms, disease severity, prognosis, and response to therapy. In addition to the evaluation of cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, CPET provides an assessment of the interaction of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems with the musculoskeletal, nervous, and hematological systems. In this article, we review key CPET variables, protocols, and clinical indications.
Brazile et al. (Tue,) conducted a review in Cardiopulmonary disease. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was evaluated. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology for evaluating patient symptoms, disease severity, and prognosis.
