Abstract

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides a noninvasive and integrated assessment of the response of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems to exercise. This information improves the diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic management of several clinical conditions. Additionally, CPET is the gold standard test for cardiorespiratory fitness quantification and exercise prescription, both in patients with cardiopulmonary disease undergoing cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation programs and in healthy individuals, such as high-level athletes. In this setting, the relevance of practical knowledge about this exam is useful and of interest to several medical specialties other than cardiology. However, despite its multiple established advantages, CPET remains underused. This article aims to increase awareness of the value of CPET in clinical practice and to inform clinicians about its main indications, applications, and basic interpretation.

临床实践中的心肺运动测试：原理、应用和基本解释。

心肺运动测试（CPET）可对呼吸、心血管和肌肉骨骼系统对运动的反应进行无创综合评估。这些信息可改善多种临床疾病的诊断、风险分层和治疗管理。此外，CPET 还是心肺功能量化和运动处方的黄金标准测试，既适用于正在接受心脏或肺康复计划的心肺疾病患者，也适用于高水平运动员等健康人。在这种情况下，有关这项检查的实用知识对心脏病学以外的多个医学专业都非常有用，也很有意义。然而，尽管 CPET 具有多种公认的优点，但仍未得到充分利用。本文旨在提高人们对 CPET 在临床实践中的价值的认识，并向临床医生介绍其主要适应症、应用和基本解释。

期刊介绍： The Portuguese Journal of Cardiology, the official journal of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, was founded in 1982 with the aim of keeping Portuguese cardiologists informed through the publication of scientific articles on areas such as arrhythmology and electrophysiology, cardiovascular surgery, intensive care, coronary artery disease, cardiovascular imaging, hypertension, heart failure and cardiovascular prevention. The Journal is a monthly publication with high standards of quality in terms of scientific content and production. Since 1999 it has been published in English as well as Portuguese, which has widened its readership abroad. It is distributed to all members of the Portuguese Societies of Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Pneumology and Cardiothoracic Surgery, as well as to leading non-Portuguese cardiologists and to virtually all cardiology societies worldwide. It has been referred in Medline since 1987.
