Ventilatory equivalents may aid noninvasive risk stratification in suspected PH; leaves open surrogate validity pending prospective validation.
Do noninvasively measured ventilatory equivalents correlate with pulmonary artery pressure during exercise in patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension?
Noninvasively measured ventilatory equivalents during exercise correlate with pulmonary artery pressure and may serve as potential surrogates to identify individuals at risk for pulmonary hypertension.
Raeside et al. (2000) studied this question.
