How accurate are common clinical treadmill and arm ergometry equations in estimating oxygen consumption in males with coronary artery disease?
Commonly used equations for estimating oxygen consumption during treadmill and arm ergometry are often inaccurate in males with CAD, raising concerns for exercise prescription based on these estimates.
Milani et al. (1996) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=15). Clinical treadmill and arm ergometry equations vs. Measured oxygen consumption was evaluated on Accuracy of estimating submaximal and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2sub and VO2max). Common clinical treadmill and arm ergometry equations often inaccurately estimate submaximal and maximal oxygen consumption in males with coronary artery disease.
