Abstract
Cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET)assess oxygen uptake (VO ) and ventilatory efficiency (V /VCO slope) as both are predictive measures of cardiovascular disease (CVD) severity in symptomatic adults. Specifically, the slope is a powerful prognostic tool for assessing CVD severity and prognosis as it is effectively independent of a patient’s capacity to reach volitional fatigue. In asymptomatic adults, several clinical risk factors for CVD have been established for use in health assessments, and as a method for early CVD detection and prevention.
