cardiopulmonary exercise testing is an important diagnostic test
in pulmonary medicine and cardiology. Capable of providing
significantly more information about an individual’s exercise
capacity than standard exercise treadmill or 6-minute walk tests,
the test is used for a variety of purposes including evaluating
patients with unexplained exercise limitation or dyspnea on exertion,
monitoring disease progression or response to treatment,
determining fitness to undergo various surgical procedures and
monitoring the effects of training in highly fit athletes.
introduction to cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a unique new
text that is ideal for trainees. It is presented in a clear,
concise and easy-to-follow manner and is capable of being read
in a much shorter time than the available texts on this topic.
chapters describe the basic physiologic responses observed during
sustained exercise and explain how to perform and interpret these studies.
the utility of the resource is further enhanced by several sections of
actual patient cases, which provide opportunities to begin developing
test interpretation skills. Given the widespread use of cardiopulmonary
exercise testing in clinical practice, trainees in pulmonary and critical
care medicine, cardiology, sports medicine, exercise physiology,
and occasionally internal medicine, will find introduction to
cardiopulmonary exercise testing to be an essential and one of a kind reference.
