Cardiopulmonary parameters in GXT - diagnostic / functional CPX


Edited by Massimo Armeni

The following are the hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory parameters to be monitored during the tests:

At rest supine:

  • ECG (electrocardiogram)
  • HR (heart rate)
  • BP (blood pressure)
  • SYMPTOMS

Operating position:

  • ECG
  • HR
  • BP
  • SYMPTOMS

Heating:

  • BP
  • ECG
  • RPE (effort perception scale)
  • SYMPTOMS

Test execution:

  • BP
  • ECG
  • HR
  • RPE
  • SYMPTOMS

Supine (diagnostic) or in-service (functional) cool-down:

  • ECG
  • BP
  • HR
  • SYMPTOMS

Standard prognostic and diagnostic parameters to be extrapolated from the test to evaluate it before performing the exercise prescription:

  • Stroke volume
  • Cardiac output
  • a-VO2 diff
  • Rate-Pressure Product *
  • Wall stress
  • Pulse Pressure *
  • Ejection fraction
  • Telediastolic volume
  • End-systolic volume
  • Mean arterial pressure *
  • VO2max *
  • Pulmonary ventilation *
  • HRRS50-70 *

Spirometry test and other parameters:

  • FEV1
  • FEV1 / FVC
  • FVC
  • MVV
  • VeO2
  • FiO2
  • FeO2
  • SaO2
  • PO2
