Piepoli et al. (2006) conducted a review in Chronic heart failure due to left ventricular dysfunction. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was evaluated. This statement provides practical recommendations for the equipment, methodology, exercise protocols, conduct, and quality control of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in chronic heart failure.
