2016 focused update: clinical recommendations for cardiopulmonary exercise testing data assessment in specific patient populations.

摘要: In the past several decades, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) has seen an exponential increase in its evidence base. The growing volume of support CPX precipitated release numerous scientific statements by societies and associations. 2012, European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation American Heart developed a joint document with primary intent redefining analysis reporting way that would streamline test interpretation clinical application. Specifically, 2012 statement on conceptualized easy-to-use, clinically meaningful based evidence-vetted variables color-coded algorithms; single-page algorithms were successfully each proposed indication. Because abundance new research recent years reassessment current light body evidence, focused update to is now warranted. purposes this are confirm included initial not requiring revision, propose revisions statement, emerging further clarify application oxygen consumption at ventilatory threshold, describe base, synergistic value combining other assessments, discuss personnel considerations laboratories, provide recommendations future research.
