Summary
These flashcards provide information about Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPX), which is a diagnostic and prognostic tool used to measure cardiovascular, pulmonary, and muscular function during physical exertion. They detail key concepts like peak VO2, ventilatory threshold, and respiratory exchange ratio.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPX) Flashcards Front: What is CPX? Back: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing - a diagnostic and prognostic tool that measures cardiovascular, pulmonary, and muscular function during physical exertion Front: What is peak VO2? Back: The highest oxygen uptake achieved during CPX, considered the gold standard measure of aerobic capacity Front: What does VT stand for in CPX? Back: Ventilatory threshold - the point at which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake Front: What does RER measure? Back: Respiratory exchange ratio - the ratio of CO2 output to O2 uptake, used to assess exercise intensity Front: What is a normal VE/VCO2 slope? Back:
