Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Cardiovascular Health
describes new research and findings relevant to cardiovascular
health as assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. It brings
together investigational cardiologists, pulmonologists and
scientists who share a wealth of experience needed to judge the
cardiovascular health, and the impairments of patients with a
variety of illnesses. It presents the latest applications of
cardiopulmonary exercise testing, including the use of computers
and rapidly responding gas analysers, which make it possible to
evaluate the cardiovascular system in a quantitative way.
This book provides a comprehensive, updated presentation of the
information that can be gained by cardiopulmonary exercise testing
to assess the health of the cardiovascular system as a whole, and
its individual components. It heralds a new era in which the
instrumentation provides accurate measurements and the functions of
the heart, pulmonary, and peripheral circulations and the lungs can
be described quantitatively in graphical form. This enables the
physician and investigator to measure the degree of success with
which the cardiovascular system supports the O2 supply for the
energy-generating mechanisms needed to sustain life.
