Towards a more comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular fitness - magnetic resonance augmented cardiopulmonary exercise testing (MR-CPEX)
Background Assessment of exercise intolerance is important in patients with cardiovascular disease. Traditionally, this is achieved by measuring maximum VO2 during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPEX). However, this cannot discriminate between cardiac output and tissue extraction problems. A better approach may be to assess VO2 and cardiac output simultaneously (which also allows calculation...
متن کاملFunctional outcomes after the Ross (pulmonary autograft) procedure assessed with magnetic resonance imaging and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
OBJECTIVE To assess autograft, homograft and ventricular function, as well as exercise capacity, in adult patients who have undergone the Ross procedure. SETTING Single centre paediatric and adult congenital heart disease unit. Patients 45 subjects (24.6 years, range 16.9-52.2 years) who underwent the Ross procedure between 1994 and 2006 (8.1 years after the Ross operation, range 2.0-14.0 yea...
متن کاملImportance of hemodynamic RV and LV parameters and CPET-results in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot
Background Good quality of life correlates with a good exercise capacity in daily life in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Patients after correction of TOF usually develop residual defects as pulmonary regurgitation or pulmonary stenosis of different severity. We investigated the impact of several hemodynamic parameters measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and echocardiog...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) Parameters in Normal Adult Population
Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a widely applied clinical procedure. The aim of the present study was to acquire a comprehensive set of reference values for cardiopulmonary responses to exercise and to evaluate the possible associations with sex, age and body mass index (BMI). Methods: From files of 3,992 CEPT performed in the hospital during six years, 102 files of heal...
متن کاملMR-Augmented Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing- a proof of concept in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)
Background Exercise intolerance is a common feature of many noncardiac and non-respiratory diseases. The causes are often multifactorial and include secondary cardiac-respiratory dysfunction, as well as skeletal muscle abnormalities. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine the exact cause using conventional cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Therefore, we have developed MR augmented C...
