Diagnostic value of the cardiopulmonary exercise test in coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary angiography (CAG) is "gold standard" for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and the oxygen uptake kinetics indexes of CPET.

Methods

One hundred thirty-one patients with chest pain who underwent coronary angiography in the Department of Cardiology of our hospital from April to September 2021 were selected. According to the results of angiography, the patients were divided into an observation group (patients with coronary heart disease, n=80) and a control group (patients without coronary heart disease, n=75). Both groups underwent CPET before angiography. The differences of peak oxygen uptake, anaerobic threshold, peak kilogram oxygen uptake, peak oxygen
