Clinical Significance of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test for Pulmonary Hypertension
With the development of science,technology and clinical medicine,the clinical application value of cardiopulmonary exercise test(CPET)has attracted more and more attention.CPET continuously and dynamically monitors lung ventilation function,electrocardiogram,blood pressure,blood oxygen saturation and other indicators during human exercise,and evaluates the overall function of the body by analyzing their relationships.The 2022 ESC/ERS guidelines suggest that CPET can be considered to further determine the likelihood of pulmonary hypertension in patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension,and a number of studies have mentioned the predictive value of peak oxygen uptake and ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide.This article focuses on the application of CPET in pulmonary hypertension,including the clinical significance of early diagnosis,prognostic evaluation and rehabilitation guidance,in which prognostic evaluation is more valuable.
