The Preventive Cardiology Jornal published a new study investigating the prognostic value of CPET in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) are exercise parameters that can predict cardiac morbidity in patients with numerous heart diseases. But the predictive value in patients with tetralogy of Fallot is still undetermined,...

A study on the European Surgery Journal compares the preoperative predictive value of spirometry and CPET in patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery. The aim of the study is to determine the predictive value of spirometry and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) preoperatively in patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery. The study compared the preoperative...

A new study covering both laboratory and field test assessments, published International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, investigates on the maximal aerobic power of elite Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) athletes. 10 internationally and nationally ranked elite SUP athletes were assessed in a laboratory and compared with other water-based athletes (surfing, dragon-boat racing, and canoeing)....

A systematic review of studies of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in stroke survivors has been published on the Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the use of CPET in people who have survived a stroke, whether used for diagnostic purposes or to assess functional capacity. The following questions were addressed: What testing procedures...
