PY - 2023 T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - Exercise testing using gas exchange analysis, or cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), is a remarkably useful and versatile tool. CPET has evolved over time and, currently, constitutes a unique clinical approach for study of a variety of cardiopulmonary disorders that may be associated with symptoms or limit exercise performance.1–3 Use of CPET has become more common recently, with increasing recognition that assessment of cardiac and pulmonary function at rest cannot reliably predict functional capacity, and that disease stages and severity correlate better with exercise parameters than with resting measurements. Indeed, CPET provides an overall assessment of the integrated, multiorgan response to exercise involving the oxygen-uptake cascade, including the lung, cardiovascular system, skeletal muscle, and cellular pathways for oxygen utilization.
