What is Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: An update on its clinical value and applications about?

Exercise testing is increasingly being utilized in clinical practice in order to determine the level of an individual's exercise capacity and potential factors of exercise intolerance . Physical exercise requires the integrative function of the cardiovascular and ventilatory systems in order to meet the increased metabolic and respiratory demands of the contracting muscles . Maximal exercise forces the respiratory (i.e. pulmonary ventilation and pulmonary diffusion) and cardiovascular systems to their functional limits, in order to meet cellular respiration (production of usable energy in the form of ATP). Thus, when respiratory and cardiovascular systems are operating under increased stress, such as during exercise, abnormal response patterns may be observed in patients with various diseases .
