Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a commonly performed, non-invasive method to evaluate cardiac symptoms and assess functional capacity in children (Paridon et al. 2006) and can be considered as safe (Ghosh et al. 2015). In very young children (4–6 years) though, CPET is highly challenging.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), also known as a pediatric stress test, is a valuable tool for gaining information about a child’s heart function and aerobic fitness. Pediatric cardiologists with Norton Children’s Heart Institute usually conduct heart tests while the child is resting. But children rarely rest that much.

2024年11月12日 · CPET是基于外呼吸与内呼吸耦联机制,通过测定机体在休息､运动及运动恢复期的VO2､VCO2､心率 (heart rate,HR)､血压､心电图等参数变化,并结合机体运动过程中出现的症状,以综合反映呼吸､循环､代谢及肌肉骨骼系统的功能储备和受损程度的一种检查方法｡. 2. 儿童CPET的呼吸系统适应证､禁忌证及可能产生不良反应的高风险人群. 儿童进行CPET需考虑受试者的认知程度､身高及安全性等因素,因此本共识建议受试儿童年龄≥6岁且配合良好,如运动装置 …

The use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in pediatrics provides critical insights into potential physiological causes of unexplained exercise-related complaints or symptoms, as well as specific pathophysiological patterns based on physiological responses or abnormalities.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the clinical standard for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), heart failure (HF) being assessed for transplantation candidacy, and subjects with unexplained dyspnea on exertion.

2022年3月2日 · However, knowledge of the performance of small children is essential for evaluating their cardiorespiratory fitness. This study strives to compare a modified Bruce protocol with a new age-appropriate incremental CPET during natural movement running outdoors, using a …

Most studies investigating CPET have been limited to older children (> 8 year). However, knowledge of the performance of small children is essential for evaluating their cardiorespiratory fitness.

Why is CPET employed in children? There are several indications for performing CPET in children and adolescents [3]. First, CPET can be employed as a diagnostic test, for example, to assess aerobic fitness or to examine abnormal exercise responses (exercise-induced dyspnea, exercise-induced tachycardia, exercise-related syncope, etc.).

2016年11月21日 · Cardiopulmonary exercise testing includes the measurement of respiratory gas exchange and is the gold standard for determining aerobic fitness, as well as for examining the integrated physiological responses to exercise in pediatric medicine.
