Ventilatory power, a cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameter for the prediction of pulmonary hypertension at right heart catheterization

Ventilatory power, a cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameter for the prediction of pulmonary hypertension at right heart catheterization

Background: Several cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) parameters (peak VO2, PetCO2 and VE/VCO2) emerged as tools for the prediction of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Less is known on ventilatory power (VP) in patients with suspect PAH. Aim: To ascertain possible correlations between VP de...
