Prognostic value of exercise testing during heart transplant evaluation in children.
BACKGROUND Maximum oxygen consumption (peak VO2) <50% predicted on exercise testing is a class I indication for heart transplant (HT) listing in children. This recommendation is based on exercise data in adults. We assessed the association of peak VO2<50% predicted during HT evaluation with freedom from death or deterioration in children. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed all children who under...
متن کاملValue of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and big endothelin plasma levels to predict short-term prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure.
OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that, in patients with stable heart failure, measuring big endothelin-1 (ET-1) plasma level at rest predicts short-term prognosis better than peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) at exercise. BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and evaluation of neurohumoral plasma factors are established tools to estimate survival in patients with heart failure. No dat...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory function of pediatric heart transplant recipients in the early postoperative period.
In this study, we sought to assess the cardiopulmonary functions in three pediatric heart transplant recipients, two of whom are with dilated cardiomyopathy, whereas one is with cyanotic heart disease, in early postoperative period. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed using an incremental cycling at 1 mo after surgery. The results revealed that our study subjects had obvious impairme...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Heart Failure
A recent issue of the Journal included two articles (1,2) involving cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with heart failure. Despite the clinical consequences of this test, there is no standardization of the compilation of results from the raw data. Interestingly, there is a great deal of literature involving the determination of ventilatory threshold but little standardization within o...
متن کاملHigh negative predictive value of workload ≥7 METS on exercise testing in patients with normal gated myocardial perfusion imaging: Was imaging really required?
Introduction: Good functional capacity has a high negative predictive value (NPV) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) similar to a normal gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI). Aim of this study was to evaluate NPV of functional capacity during treadmill exercise in patients with normal GMPI in Pakistani population. Methods: This was a prospective study which ...
