CPET provides individualized cardiorespiratory data to guide diagnostic evaluation and cardiac rehabilitation planning.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides individualized insights into cardiorespiratory function, expanding its use in diagnostic evaluation and cardiac rehabilitation planning.
CPET delivers individualized cardiorespiratory assessment during exercise; leaves open routine clinical adoption pending higher-level evidence.
pulmonary gas exchange (oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide output), along with a continuous ECG monitoring and blood pressure measurement quantifies and links metabolic, cardiovascular and pulmonary responses to exercise. Unlike standard exercise tests, data obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing are individualized, which allows us an accurate insight of the patient cardiorespiratory function. Today, with an increased availability of instruments for the facile measurement of exercise gas exchange, cardiopulmonary exercise testing has expanded from clinical research application to a method frequently used in diagnostic estimation of cardiac patients and in therapeutic purpose, for individualised cardiac rehabilitation programme planning.

Brozina et al. (2014) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing vs. Standard exercise tests was evaluated. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing provides individualized data on cardiorespiratory function, expanding its use from clinical research to diagnostic evaluation and cardiac rehabilitation planning.
