Summary: This study compared the peak oxygen uptake between cycle ergometer exercise testing and sitting exercise testing, and found that the peak oxygen uptake was lower in sitting exercise testing, but it had a strong correlation with cycle ergometer exercise testing, suggesting its suitability as a submaximal exercise test.

Summary: Constant and intense physical activity can cause physiological adaptive changes in the human body, but it can also trigger adverse events. This study aimed to assess the combined use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and cardiac biomarkers in young professional athletes. The results showed significant correlations between CPET parameters and changes in Myo, CK-MB, and D-dimers. This suggests the potential of using CPET and biomarkers to evaluate professional athletes, and further research is encouraged.

Summary: The CPET assessment in pediatric HCM patients provides a true estimation of functional capacity and may be helpful in early identification of high-risk patients. Patients with worse CPET profiles were more likely to experience composite endpoint events, with peak oxygen uptake being strongly associated with adverse events during follow-up.

Summary: This study found stable blood glucose responses to CPET in patients with type 1 diabetes, with pre-exercise hyperglycemia not influencing subsequent glycemic dynamics but potentiating alterations in various cardiac and metabolic responses to CPET. HbA(1c) was a significant factor in determining peak performance outcomes during CPET.

Summary: This study found that exercise capacity is lower in late preterm children compared to term children, but within the normal range, and comparable to that of early preterm children, with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Lung function is only lower than normal in early preterm children.

Summary: This 18-year cross-sectional study provides data on the safety of exercise testing in the clinical Chinese population. The low rate of adverse events related to exercise testing might be due to changes in clinical practice over time.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The results showed that ALS patients had significantly decreased exercise capacity, and the peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) and peak heart rate (HR peak) were closely correlated with disease severity and predicted a worse prognosis.

Summary: This study provides reference values and predictive equations of CPX variables for the Chinese adult population, showing good predictive accuracy in predicting CPX variables. The predictive equations derived from this study are more appropriate for interpreting the response to maximal ramp incremental cycle ergometry in the Chinese population.

Summary: Cardiorespiratory fitness is important and can be assessed through cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Peak oxygen consumption and minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production slope are key measures. Further research is needed to understand the role of this assessment in primary care.

Summary: Cardiac rehabilitation after acute myocardial infarction in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction can improve exercise capacity, particularly through increased heart rate response and improved peripheral oxygen extraction during exercise.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in predicting surgical complications in ovarian cancer surgery. The results showed that patients with a raised VE/VCO2 during CPET experienced more surgical complications. However, there was no relationship found with other outcomes such as hospital stay, readmission, and resectability of disease.

Summary: This study investigated the content validity and test-retest reliability of the VO2-max test in persons with Parkinson's disease (pwPD), both in the ON and OFF medication states. The study found that the VO2-max test had acceptable content validity and excellent day-to-day reliability in pwPD, regardless of medication.

Summary: The study demonstrated that childhood ALL survivors exposed to chemotherapy can achieve a safe maximal CPET without long-term complications. Regression analysis showed a significant association between the cumulative dose of doxorubicin and VO(2)peak.

Summary: Heart failure is a complex syndrome with diverse presentations and severity. Current prognostic markers, such as left ventricular ejection fraction, have limitations in accurately predicting outcomes and guiding management decisions. Metabolic exercise testing, which evaluates multisystem responses and aerobic capacity during exercise, provides a more comprehensive and reliable assessment, especially in heart failure patients.

Summary: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the clinical standard for evaluating children with congenital heart disease, heart failure candidates for transplantation, and those with unexplained dyspnea on exertion. It provides an integrated analysis of the multi-system response to exercise, aiding in differential diagnosis of exercise intolerance. This review discusses the interpretation and clinical significance of CPET results, focusing on cardiovascular diseases, and provides an algorithm for easy use in clinical practice.
