“…Cycle ergometry allows accurate determination of the external work rate and thus evaluation of the _ V O 2 -work rate relationship, which is difficult with a treadmill. 49 In addition, cycle ergometry requires less skill than a treadmill (performance is less affected by practice), it is cheaper, and it takes up less space. 49 Although a variety of exercise protocols can be used to interrogate different elements of the exercise response, the continuous incremental exercise test (incremental ramp test) to the limit of tolerance (symptom limited) is used most widely to evaluate exercise capacity.…”

The objective of this document was to standardise published cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) protocols for improved interpretation in clinical settings and multicentre research projects. This document: 1) summarises the protocols and procedures used in published studies focusing on incremental CPET in chronic lung conditions; 2) presents standard incremental protocols for CPET on a stationary cycle ergometer and a treadmill; and 3) provides patients' perspectives on CPET obtained through an online survey supported by the European Lung Foundation. We systematically reviewed published studies obtained from EMBASE, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library from inception to January 2017. Of 7914 identified studies, 595 studies with 26 523 subjects were included. The literature supports a test protocol with a resting phase lasting at least 3 min, a 3-min unloaded phase, and an 8- to 12-min incremental phase with work rate increased linearly at least every minute, followed by a recovery phase of at least 2–3 min. Patients responding to the survey (n=295) perceived CPET as highly beneficial for their diagnostic assessment and informed the Task Force consensus. Future research should focus on the individualised estimation of optimal work rate increments across different lung diseases, and the collection of robust normative data.

“…In the constant work rate exercise test, based on an initial incremental exercise test evaluation, patients are asked to exercise to the same workload. The use of work rate exercise test, pre-and post-interventions, is increasing as it allows the response to exercise training or rehabilitation to be measured, which is an indication for long-term oxygen therapy and lung volume reduction [64][65][66].…”

Pulmonary hypertension and chronic lung disease: where are we headed?

et al. 2019

Pulmonary hypertension related to chronic lung disease, mainly represented by COPD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, is associated with a worse outcome when compared with patients only affected by parenchymal lung disease. At present, no therapies are available to reverse or slow down the pathological process of this condition and most of the clinical trials conducted to date have had no clinically significant impact. Nevertheless, the importance of chronic lung diseases is always more widely recognised and, along with its increasing incidence, associated pulmonary hypertension is also expected to be growing in frequency and as a health burden worldwide. Therefore, it is desirable to develop useful and reliable tools to obtain an early diagnosis and to monitor and follow-up this condition, while new insights in the therapeutic approach are explored.
