Key result
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing measurements incorporating minute ventilation, particularly the VE-VCO2 relationship, are clinically significant diagnostic and prognostic tools in heart failure.
Why the study?
What is the clinical significance of ventilatory abnormalities measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with heart failure?
What is the clinical significance of ventilatory abnormalities measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with heart failure?
This review highlights the diagnostic and prognostic value of ventilatory parameters, such as the VE-VCO2 relationship, derived from cardiopulmonary exercise testing in heart failure patients.

CPET aids HF assessment via ventilatory measures; review leaves open optimal parameter standardization for practice.
Arena et al. (2007) conducted a review in Heart Failure. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was evaluated. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing measurements incorporating minute ventilation, particularly the VE-VCO2 relationship, are clinically significant diagnostic and prognostic tools in heart failure.
