Inhaltsangabe

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is often seen as complex and difficult to interpret. As a result, many healthcare professionals are hesitant to use the test or feel overwhelmed when faced with a CPET report.

A Practical Guide to the Interpretation of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests, Third Edition aims to demystify CPET by equipping clinicians with background knowledge and a structured approach to interpret and apply the data in clinical practice.

The book is split into five sections: an introduction to the test and the rationale for its use, a description of the key CPET measured parameters, interpretation of these data, the use of CPET in more specialised clinical situations, and lastly a bank of questions testing the reader's knowledge. These questions are in the style of the Royal College of Physicians Respiratory Medicine exit exam. With practical tips and key learning points throughout, this guide is an essential resource for anyone looking to use CPET in their clinical practice.

William Kinnear, MD, MRCP, studied at University College London and Westminster Hospital Medical School. After training posts in London and Cambridge, he moved to Nottingham where he was appointed as a consultant respiratory physician in 1993. His interest in respiratory physiology led to a Wellcome travelling fellowship at Erasmus Hospital in Brussels, and he has developed close links with the sport science department at Nottingham Trent University.

Dr. Lukas Kalinke, BM, BSc (Hons), MRCP, PGCert, PhD is a consultant respiratory physician who has a long-standing interest in understanding and teaching pathophysiology. He has won numerous awards for his teaching. His PhD was both clinical and laboratory based investigating preinvasive lung squamous cell lesions. He has previously been involved in asthma immunobiology research. His work has been published in Nature Immunology and Science. He has also written review and editorial articles and a book chapter on preinvasive airway lesions.

Prof. (Hon) James Hull, MBBS, PhD, FRCP, FACSM, is a consultant respiratory physician and sports pulmonologist. He first became interested in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) as an medical undergraduate at St George's Hospital, under the tutelage of the late Prof. Brian Whipp. He has subsequently spent time at UCLA advancing his expertise in the clinical application of CPET. He leads an unexplained breathlessness service utilising CPET in hundreds of patients each year. He has published numerous papers in this field, with most recent focus on how CPET can be used to identify abnormal breathing patterns, using non-linear statistical methods.
