  1. Physiological bases of clinical exercise testing: choosing and performing the proper test Piergiuseppe Agostoni, MD, PhD Centro Cardiologico Monzino, Istituto di Cardiologia, Università di Milano, Milano Division of Respiratory Disease, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

  2. Ventilation Gas diffusion Cardiac output muscle O2 extraction O2 transport

  3. Why a cardiopulmonary exercise test? • Etiology of exercise limitation is unknown • Disease prognosis (CHF) • Effectiveness of therapeutic intervention • Exercise prescription • Transplant evaluation • Research!

  4. Cardiopulmonary exercise test Modalities • GAS ANALYSIS (indirect calorimetry) • Douglas bag procedure • Time-averaged systems • Breath-by-breath systems • ERGOMETER • Treadmill • Cycloergometer • Armometer

  5. Hystorical Easy to be performed VO2max > 5-10% Expensive, noisy Dangerous for some categories of patients Not suitable for hemodynamic measurements Difficulties in assessing workrate Easy to assess workrate Less expensive, less noise Easy to assess VO2/WR Suitable for hemodynamic measurements VO2max 89%-95% vs treadmill Treadmill Cycloergometer

  6. Costant Workload Step Incremental Workload Ramp Incremental Workload Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Protocols

  7. CONSTANT WORKLOAD PROTOCOLS VO2 3’ 6’ Time • Gas kinetics Analysis • - phase 1 linked to cardiac output • - phase 2 related to exercise capacity • (Tau: 63% VO2max; T1/2) • - phase 3 (Delta 6°e 3° minute) • Above or below Anaerobic Threshold • Response to therapeutic intervention

  8. INCREMENTAL PROTOCOLS Zhang et al. Did the different work rate step patterns affect aerobic function parameters? Ramp 2-min step VO2 (L•min-1) Work Rate (W) 1-min step 3-min step Time (min)

  9. What is a Ramp Protocol? • Constant and continuous work increases • Can be easily individualized • Test duration may be better targeted • May better elicit a “true” VO2max • 2’-3’ step incremental protocol useful only if intermediate steady state needing (i.e. blood sampling, haemodinamic measures)

  10. CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE TEST OPTIMAL LENGHT J Appl Physiol 1983 - What is the ideal maximal exercise test? Mode that progressively increases total body and myocardial demand in reasonable time - What is an optimal time duration?8 to 12 minutes

  11. Effects of work-rate ramp on peak exercise parameters in heart failure They are influenced Peak WR Watts Peak VO2 ml/min/Kg * * * * * Agostoni PG et al. Eur J Heart Fail 2005

  12. Effects of work-rate ramp on AT parameters in heart failure Work rate AT Watts VO2 AT ml/min/Kg It is not influenced It is influenced * * * Agostoni PG et al. Eur J Heart Fail 2005

  13. Effects of work-rate ramp on VE/VCO2 slope in heart failure It is not influenced Agostoni PG et al. Eur J Heart Fail 2005

  17. VO2max VO2 = SVxHRx a-vO2diff

  18. VO2/WORK SLOPE • O2 consumption vs work • match o2 delivery and o2 utilization.

  19. VO2/ WR Clinical Relevance VO2 obese normal CAD, MI CHF, reduced O2 utlization Work N.V. 10 ml/min/W • Position (ie overweight) • slope (ie heart failure) • Linearity (ie coronary artery disease)

  20. O2 Pulse • It reflects SV and… • is affected by: • - anemia • - hypoxemia • - heart failure • - deconditioning HD: heart disease; OAD: obstructive airway disease O2Pulse = SVxHRx a-vO2diff HR

  21. ANAEROBIC THRESHOLD IDENTIFICATION V-SLOPE METHOD Normal >40% del V’O2 MAX

  25. Tidal volume & Respiratory frequency • VT •  non-linearly • may plateau in some • ventilatory limitation • VT > 55% of VC • RF • slow  initially • sharp  • hyperventilation • ventilatory limitation • RR > 55 b/min k x VCO2 [PaCO2 x (1-Vd/Vt)] VE=

  33. Method: INERT GAS REBREATHING • Spontaneous rebreathe (for 10-20 sec.) from a bag prefilled with an oxygen enriched mixture containing two foreign gases • Nitrous oxide (N2O) is soluble in blood and its concentration decreases during rebreathing with a rate proportional to CO • Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is insoluble in blood and is used to determine the lung volume Population: 20 CHF pts (VO2max 16.62.9 ml/min/Kg) • Study Design: • CPET (ramp protocol) to assess functional capacity • CPET (incremental protocol) with CO determination at each step by • - Inert Gas Rebreathing method (R) • CPET (incremental protocol) with CO determination at each step by • - Inert Gas Rebreathing method (R) • - Direct Fick method • - Thermodilution method

  34. R vs T R= 0.94 F vs T R= 0.95 R vs F R= 0.95 Agreement (vs Fick and vs Thermodilution) Conclusions: In CHF CO measurement during exercise by Inert Gas Rebreathing technique provides repeatable measurements that agree with Direct Fick and Thermodilution methods
