Metabolic cost of unloading pedalling in different groups of patients with pulmonary hypertension and volunteers
Abstract Recently, the parameter internal work (IW) has been introduced as change in oxygen uptake (VO2) between resting and unloading workload in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). The proportional IW (PIW) was defined as IW divided by VO2 at peak exercise. A second option is to calculate the...
