Introduction[edit | edit source]
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used to assess the integrative exercise responses involving the pulmonary, cardiovascular, haematopoietic, neuropsychological, and skeletal muscle systems.
It also used to evaluate.
- Exercise capacity, functional capacity and fitness
- Prognostic and Diagnostic evaluation of the patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions e.g. ( Heart failure, Heart or Thoracic surgery, copd ) etc.
CPET involves the analysis of respiratory gases including.
- Respiratory oxygen uptake (Vo2),
- Carbon dioxide production (Vco2),
- Ventilatory measures during a symptom‐limited exercise test.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be assessed by two methods
- Laboratory method (treadmill or cycle)
- Field method (6-minute walk test (6MWT), shuttle walk test (SWT).
