Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in paediatric cardiology differs in many aspects from the tests as performed in adult cardiology. Children's cardiovascular responses during exercise testing present different characteristics, particularly oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood pressure response, which are essential in interpreting haemodynamic data. Diseases that are associated with myocardial ischaemia are very rare in children. The main indications for CPET in children are evaluation of exercise capacity and the identification of exercise-induced arrhythmias. In this article we will review exercise equipment and test protocols for CPET in children with congenital heart disease. (Neth Heart J 2009;17:339-44.).
儿科心脏病学中的心肺运动测试(CPET)在许多方面与成人心脏病学中的测试不同。儿童在运动测试中的心血管反应具有不同的特点,特别是氧摄取、心率和血压反应,这些对于解释血液动力学数据至关重要。与心肌缺血相关的疾病在儿童中非常罕见。CPET 在儿童中的主要适应证是评估运动能力和识别运动引起的心律失常。在本文中,我们将回顾先天性心脏病儿童 CPET 的运动设备和测试方案。(Neth Heart J 2009;17:339-44.)。
