Right ventricular load and function during exercise in patients with open and closed atrial septal defect type secundum

Pieter De Meester; Roselien Buys; Werner Budts; Marion Delcroix; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Jens-Uwe Voigt; Alexander Van de Bruaene

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating (1) right ventricular (RV) mean power during exercise, (2) the contribution of flow and pressure to RV mean power, and (3) the impact of pulmonary artery pressure on RV function during exercise. Methods: Fifty patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) …

Usefulness of cardiopulmonary exercise testing to predict the development of arterial hypertension in adult patients with repaired isolated coarctation of the aorta.

Alexander Van de Bruaene; Jan Müller; Werner Budts; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Alessandro Giardini; Rosalien Buys; Sachin Khambadkone; Veronique Cornelissen

BACKGROUND: Patients who underwent surgery for aortic coarctation (COA) have an increased risk of arterial hypertension. We aimed at evaluating (1) differences between hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients and (2) the value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to predict the development or …

Serial exercise testing in children, adolescents and young adults with Senning repair for transposition of the great arteries

Rosalien Buys; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Tony Reybroeck; Marc Gewillig; Werner Budts

Background: Patients with Senning repair for complete transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) show an impaired exercise tolerance. Our aim was to investigate changes in exercise capacity in children, adolescents and adults with Senning operation. Methods: Peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), oxygen pulse …

Predictors of mid-term event-free survival in adults with corrected tetralogy of Fallot

Luc Vanhees (Lector); Werner Budts; Rosalien Buys; Pieter De Meester

Objectives Patients who underwent corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have increased long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Yet, limited information is available on how to evaluate the risk in this population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic …

Clinical recommendations for cardiopulmonary exercise testing data assessment in specific patient populations. EACPR/AHA Joint Scientific Statement

Jonathan Meyers; Daniel Forman; Carl Lavie; Ross Arena; Viviane Conraads; Dalane Kitzman; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Marco Guazzi; Gerald Fletcher; Alessandro Mezzani; Volker Adams; Martin Halle

From an evidence-based perspective, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a well-supported assessment technique in both the United States (US) and Europe. The combination of standard exercise testing (ET) [i.e. progressive exercise provocation in association with serial electrocardiograms (ECGs), …

Review Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Cancer Rehabilitation: A systematic review

Charlotte Steins Bisschop; Miranda Velthuis; Harriët Wittink (Lector); Tim Takken; Petra Peeters; Wout van der Meulen; Anne May; Eline Lindeman

This systematic review aims to get insight into the feasibility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with cancer prior to a physical exercise programme. We will focus on quality (defined as the adherence to international guidelines for methods of CPET) and safety of CPET. Furthermore, …

EACPR/AHA scientific statement. Clinical recommendations for cardiopulmonary exercise testing data assessment in specific patient populations

Viviane Conraads; Jonathan Myers; Carl Lavie; Marco Guazzi; Daniel Forman; Alessandro Mezzani; Dalane Kitzman; Ross Arena; Martin Halle; Gerald Fletcher; Volker Adams; Luc Vanhees (Lector)

From an evidence-based perspective, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a well-supported assessment technique in both the United States (US) and Europe. The combination of standard exercise testing (ET) (ie, progressive exercise provocation in association with serial electrocardiograms [ECG], hemodynamics, …

The six-minute walk test in paediatric populations

Janke de Groot (Lid Lectoraat)

The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a self-paced, submaximal exercise test used to assess functional exercise capacity in patients with chronic diseases (Chang 2006, Solway et al 2001). It has been used widely in adults, and is being utilised increasingly in paediatric populations; it has been used as …
