Indications for CPET I: Provide support in differential diagnosis. (Cardiac, Pulmonary, Peripheral) II: Determine performance limitations. (Chronic lung disease, workplace, pre-operative, insurance) III: Assess therapeutic interventions. (Pulmonary rehab, transplant)
Contra-indications for CPET Absolute Relative Acute myocardial infarction (3-5 days) Left main coronary stenosis Unstable angina Moderate stenotic vascular heart disease Uncontrolled arrhythmia causing symptoms Electrolyte abnormalities Active endocarditis Severe untreated hypertension (>200mmHg Active myocarditis or pericarditis systolic, >120 mmHg diastolic) Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis Significant pulmonary hypertension Uncontrolled heart failure Tachyarrhythmias or bradyarrhythmas Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Acute noncardiac disorder that may affect exercise Mental impairment leading to inability to performance or be aggravated by exercise . cooperate Thrombosis of lower extremities High-degree of atrioventricular block ‘Relative’ contra-indications can be over-ruled if the benefits outweigh the risks of exercise
What Protocol??? Maximal? Bicycle? Steps? Ramp? Warm-up? Workload? Endpoint? Sub-maximal?
What Protocol ??? Max or Sub-max? Bike or Treadmill? Exercise Duration? Ramp or Steps? Workload?
MAX or SUBMAX • For cardio-pulmonary diagnostic purposes, MAXIMAL tests are performed. • We aim to stress the cardio-resp system until we identify the factor which limits exercise capacity • Sub max test are more common in athletics training, rehabilitation etc.
Treadmill vs Cycle FEATURE TREADMILL CYCLE Higher Peak VO2 + Similar Max HR and Max VE + + Familiarity of exercise ++ + Quantitation of external work - - + Freedom from artifact (ECG, BP) - - + + Ease of obtaining blood gases - - + + Safe (less musculoskeletal injuries) + Useful in supine position + Less vertical/horizontal space + Less noise, Less Expensive + Portable - + Wasserman et al. Principles of Exercise Testing and Interpretation. Lea & febiger, 1987.
Ideal Testing Duration • Exercise portion of test lasts 8-12minutes.
Selecting the Work Rate What is the appropriate work rate increment for each patient?
Calculating the Work Rate • 1. Approximate VO2 for Unloaded Pedaling: • 150+(6 x Weight) • 2. Estimate VO2 max • Height (cm) - Age(yrs) x 20 (Males) • Height (cm) - Age (yrs) x 14 (Females) • Work Rate Increment • VO2 max pred - VO2 Unloaded /100 Example: 50 yr old male, 100 kg and 180 cm 1. VO2 unloaded = [150+(6x100) = 750 ml/min 2. VO2 Pred max = [(180-50) x 20 = 2600 ml/min 3. Work = [2600 - 750] / 100 = 18.5 (round to 20) Wasserman, et al. Principles of Exercise Testing and Interpretation. Lea & Febiger, 1987.
Selecting the Work Rate 5 Watts/min Severe impairment(e.g. patient who is confined to home or walks only short distances) 10 Watts/min Moderate impairment(e.g. patient who walks one or two city blocks before symptoms) 15 Watts/min Mild impairment or sedentary older patient 20 Watts/min Sedentary younger patient 25 Watts/min Active younger patient(regular sports, physical exercise) 30 Watts/min Athletic and fit(competitive sports) 40 Watts/min Extremely fit(highly competitive) Chris Cooper, MD.. Harbor UCLA Medical
Maximal - Stop (1) Exercise criteria for exhaustion (1): 1. Cardial • HR: 220 - age (athlets) • HR: 200 - age (patients) • (HR = 210 - 0.65 * age) 2. Ventilation • no breathing reserve (see below) • F/V - limitation
Maximal - Stop (2) Exercise criteria for exhaustion (2): 3. Gas exchange • RER > 1.1 - 1.2 • Breathing equivalent EQO2 > 35 • VO2-plateau 4. Metabolic • Lactate: 6 - 12 mmol/l • pH-value < 7.2 (< 7.0)
Stop Criterias (1) Indications for load-stop: Angina Pectoris ST-decrease more than 0.25 mV(horizontal or descending) Dysrhythmia according to Lown IIIa or IV(polytop extrasystols or volleys) AV block of degree II or III Decrease of O2-uptake, HR, and/or O2-pulse during exercise
Stop Criterias (2) Psys: > 250 mmHg and / or Pdia: > 120 mmHg
Parameters • Breathing Pattern • O2 and CO2 • Heart Rate and ECG • Blood Pressure • SpO2 • Also ABGs, Lactate, Indirect Cardiac Output, Flow Volume loops, indirect calorimetry, P0.100, high FIO2
Breathing Parameters • Ventilation VE(L/min) • Tidal Volume VT(L) • Respiratory RateRR(Breaths/min) • Breathing ReserveBR(% Max Pred) • Others include Ti, Ttot,
Breathing Reserve • How much Ventilation we have in reserve • Percent of PREDICTED MAX eg Predicted Max Ve = 125 L/min Current Ve = 100 L/min 25 L/min reserve = 20%
Predicted Max Ventilation We need to know if patients reached THEIR ACHIEVABLE MAX VE, not the Ve predicted for a healthy individual. • Should not use prediction from age height etc. • Can measure Max Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) • Best Prediction for Max VE during exercise= 35 x FEV1

Heart Rate Reserve • How much heart rate capacity we have in reserve, expressed as number of beats. • maximum predicted HR is 180 bpm • current HR is 160 bpm • HRR of 20 beats.
