Exercise tests are commonly used in clinical practice for both functional and diagnostic assessments. Many exercise tests are designed to produce a single measurement relevant to a specific clinical setting such as a timed walking distance as a measure of functional capacity in rehabilitation candidates or the presence of ECG changes consistent with myocardial ischemia in patients with chest pa...
متن کاملThe clinical utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing: results of a university hospital
Objective: To determine the main reasons for cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) referrals in our hospital over the last two years; to evaluate clinical usefulness of CPET. Methods: We included 207 patients between 17 and 76 years of age. For every patient, we measured electrocardigraphy (ECG), arterial blood gases, spirometry, maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) and diffusing capacity. CPET w...
متن کاملExercising your patient: which test(s) and when?
With the introduction of the stair climb test of surgical patients in the 1950s, the role of exercise-based testing as a useful diagnostic tool and an adjunct to conventional cardiopulmonary testing was established. Since then, we have witnessed a rapid development of numerous tests, varying in their protocols and clinical applications. The relatively simple "field tests" (shuttle walks, stair...
متن کاملThe Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT) for the Evaluation of Pulmonary Diseases
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a well-tolerated test which reflects daily activities and can be easily used in clinical practice. The 6MWT provides information about functional capacity, response to therapy and prognosis across a range of chronic cardiopulmonary conditions. Moreover, the 6MWT is sensitive to the common therapies used for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, such as pulmon...
