Introduction: Recent data suggests that UK cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes do not substantially improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or patient survival. The exercise dose prescribed as part of a routine CR programme may be insufficient. Th...

Data obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing offer additional interpretive power over conventional exercise tolerance testing. When used correctly, these data allow improved clinical decision making in patients with cardiometabolic and respira...
