Understanding cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.4 месяца назад
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a type of exercise test. It can tell the healthcare team how much exercise you can do. CPET involves breathing into a mouthpiece while riding an exercise bike or walking on a treadmill. You will also normally be connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG) machine to monitor your heart.

Lung function tests (also called breathing tests) are a series of tests that provide information about the amount of air your lungs can hold and how effectively they work. The results of lung function tests can tell your doctor if your airways are narrower or less effective than normal.

Understanding the 6-minute walk test

Walk tests (also called exercise tests) measure how able a person is to do simple exercise (walking). In the 6-minute walk test, you walk as far as you can up and down a corridor in 6 minutes. During walk tests your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels are also measured. Walk tests can show how able you are to do everyday tasks and can provide clues to the cause of some symptoms of pulm...

Understanding echocardiogram (echo) tests

An echocardiogram, or ‘echo’, uses ultrasound to show a picture of the heart at work. It is a very safe test - it is also used to examine babies in the womb, and the ultrasound waves cannot be felt. An echo is used to look for abnormalities in your heart or the way it is working. The echo can also give a rough estimate of: - the amount of blood being pumped through the heart with each beat - th...

    Wow, your pre diagnosis story is a lot like mine. I had been complaining for years about my shortness of breath and was ignored and placated, so I blamed myself. When I finally went into full blown heart failure it was too far advanced for just oral medication. In the 6 years since diagnosis I’m on o2 24/7 and on 3 different medications one which is IV and I’ve been on death’s door 3 times. Please remember to advocate for yourself if you feel your being dismissed get a 2nd opinion.

    I was diagnosed at age 11. I’m 52 now and my heart has normal function. I’m on Veletri and tracleer. Sotatercept was released in March in USA. The first drug that treats the disease and not just symptoms. I hope to start it this year. The side affects of my current meds are dibilatating. My life expectancy was age 18.

    This see seems much better than the one my doctor has. They make me put this band with a probe on my head and then we walk until a set time. If I can’t finish, then I have to start again. Which makes zero sense because then I try to control my pace so I can finish. Because if you have PPH you already have limited exercise ability 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    Oh, Carole, this was my story too: Diagnosed with asthma when I was 50, and put on asthma medication that didn't quite work. 10 years later, I went to a lung specialist and said that I felt I was getting enough oxygen when I breathed! She listened to me, and with tests, was able to diagnose it as IPAH. Things have been so much better, these last 7 years, with the specific PH medications that I am on. Thank you for sharing your story. Much love to you ♥♥♥

It is a complete life changing disease of which there is still little understanding, I am still trying to come to terms with it all, however I now have an excellent team of experts around me but nobody knows what the future holds.

    This is excellent! Thank you so much. I found it very helpful, particularly differentiating activity and exercise. Also the advice of varying walking speeds rather than stopping to ease the breathing. We are all different, as you so clearly explain, so we gently learn our own limits and scope. My activities, exercise capacity & quality of life have vastly improved since beginning to include exercise a year ago. From a Walking 6 minute result of 99 I have gradually improved to 275 & fully expect it to be a higher number on the next clinic visit! Thank you for your work and encouragement!
