“…312 It is important to evaluate functional capacity by CPET or TMET. [313][314][315][316] These tests, especially CPET, provide extremely useful information regarding aerobic fitness and the hemodynamic repercussions of valvular heart disease, which may be underestimated by assessments performed at rest. In addition, treadmill tests identify parameters that are used to guide exercise prescription and restrictions.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
