Assessing post-exercise respiratory gas kinetics in clinical sample - a pilot study

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is established in the evaluation of patients with cardiac and pulmonary diseases, and its clinical utility seems to be expanding. Currently the most important diagnostic and prognostic ventilatory metrics of CPX rely on the exercise phase. Nevertheless, a consistent body of evidence suggests that important information can be derived from the...
