Gender specific equation to estimate peak oxygen uptake in female patients with cardiovascular diseas

Key Points

• Finding a gender-specific equation improves peak oxygen uptake estimates for female patients with cardiovascular disease.
• Peak oxygen uptake metrics enhance cardiovascular assessments by tailoring approaches to specific populations.
• This observational analysis examines the effectiveness of gender-specific equations for oxygen uptake in cardiovascular health.
• Potentially increases diagnostic accuracy in female cardiovascular patients; further validation needed.
