Clinical Utility of Measuring Inspiratory Neural Drive During Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) KU Leuven
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has traditionally included ventilatory and metabolic measurements alongside electrocardiographic characterization; however, research increasingly acknowledges the utility of also measuring inspiratory neural drive (IND) through its surrogate measure of diaphragmatic electromyography (EMGdi). While true IND also encompasses the activation of non-diaphragmatic respiratory muscles, the current review focuses ...

Clinical Recommendations for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Data Assessment in Specific Patient Populations KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
Clinician approach to cardiopulmonary exercise testing for exercise prescription in patients at risk of and with cardiovascular disease Universiteit Hasselt
Exercise training is highly recommended in current guidelines on primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is based on the cardiovascular benefits of physical activity and structured exercise, ranging from improving the quality of life to reducing CVD and overall mortality. Therefore, exercise should be treated as a powerful medicine and critical component of the management plan for patients at risk for or diagnosed ...
Clinical Guide for Assessment and Prescription of Exercise and Physical Activity in Cardiac Rehabilitation. A CSANZ Position Statement A Clinical Guide for Assessment and Prescription of Exercise and Physical Activity in Cardiac Rehabilitation. A CSANZ .. Universiteit Hasselt
Patients with cardiovascular disease benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, which includes structured exercise and physical activity as core components. This position statement provides pragmatic, evidence-based guidance for the assessment and prescription of exercise and physical activity for cardiac rehabilitation clinicians, recognising the latest international guidelines, scientific evidence and the increasing use of technology and virtual ...
Standards for the use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing for the functional evaluation of cardiac patients: a report from the Exercise Physiology Section of the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation KU Leuven
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a methodology that has profoundly affected the approach to patients' functional evaluation, linking performance and physiological parameters to the underlying metabolic substratum and providing highly reproducible exercise capacity descriptors. This study provides professionals with an up-to-date review of the rationale sustaining the use of CPET for functional evaluation of cardiac patients in both the ...
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing with Echocardiography to Identify Mechanisms of Unexplained Dyspnea Universiteit Hasselt Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Little data is available about the pathophysiological mechanisms of unexplained dyspnea and their clinical meaning. Consecutive patients with unexplained dyspnea underwent prospective standardized cardiopulmonary exercise testing with echocardiography (CPETecho). Patients were grouped as having normal exercise capacity (peak VO2 > 80% with respiratory exchange [RER] > 1.05), reduced exercise capacity (peak VO2 <= 80% with RER > ...
Diagnostic accuracy of exercise stress testing for coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Exercise stress testing offers a non-invasive, less expensive way of risk stratification prior to coronary angiography, and a negative stress test may actually avoid angiography. However, previous meta-analyses have not included all exercise test modalities, or patients without known Coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS: We systematically reviewed the literature to determine the diagnostic accuracy of exercise stress ...
Exercise testing in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction Universiteit Antwerpen
Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) universally complain of exercise intolerance and dyspnoea as key clinical correlates. Cardiac as well as extracardiac components play a role for the limited exercise capacity, including an impaired cardiac and peripheral vascular reserve, a limitation in mechanical ventilation and/or gas exchange with reduced pulmonary vascular reserve, skeletal muscle dysfunction and iron ...
