... patients who completed a center-based CRP from 2015 to 2022. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), transthoracic echocardiography, and laboratory analysis were performed before and after program completion. Results: Of 232 enrolled patients, 131 were included in our cohort analysis, with 36.6% having...

...Jari A Laukkanen; Nzechukwu M. Isiozor; Peter Willeit; Setor K. Kunutsor Introduction: Haemodynamic gain index (HGI) is a novel haemodynamic parameter which can be obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX), but its association with sudden cardiac death (SCD) is not known. We aimed...

Iliodromitis Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the most comprehensive technique which allows a holistic approach to cardiopulmonary diseases. Summary: This article...

...Jari A. Laukkanen; Sudhir Kurl; Hassan Khan; Francesco Zaccardi; Setor K. Kunutsor Introduction: Percentage of age-predicted cardiorespiratory fitness (% age-predicted CRF) is a potentially useful cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) parameter, but there are limited data on its prognostic...

...Douet van Le; Gunnar Vagn Hagemann Jensen; Steen Carstensen; Lars Kjøller-Hansen Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility, reproducibility, safety and information obtained on exercise physiology from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) in patients with aortic stenosis...

... Capacity in Healthy Normals of Different Age Key Words Healthy normals Cardiopulmonary exercise testing Reference values Abstract Sixty-nine healthy normals from the 3rd to the 6th decade were stressed to exhaustion by means of a cardiopulmonary exercice test on a bicycle ergometer. Peak VCH, VCO2...

... patients with mild HF on chronic β-blocker therapy underwent treadmill and bicycle cardiopulmonary exercise testing for measurement of peak VO 2 and the VE/VCO 2 slope. In patients with sinus rhythm (n = 16), HRR at 1 (HRR-1) and 2 min (HRR-2) after exercise termination was assessed. Results: Peak VO 2...

... by the computer system of V max 29. A spirometric study was performed in all subjects before the cardiopulmonary exercise test, measuring forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ), and calculated as percentage of predicted values, taking into account age, gender and body weight...
