Exercise Tolerance in Patients With CABG and Sternotomy vs. Patients With Minimally Invasive Coronary Surgery (ENDO-ACAB)

August 17, 2015 updated by: Dominique Hansen, Hasselt University

Exercise Tolerance in Patients With Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG) and Sternotomy vs. Patients With Minimally Invasive Coronary Surgery

In this study, up to 20 healthy individuals, 20 endo-ACAB patients, and 20 CABG patients undergo a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after hospital discharge (for patients only). Exercise tolerance is compared between groups.

Detailed Description

In this prospective observational study, up to 20 healthy individuals (no history or presence of any chronic disease, sedentary), 20 endo-ACAB patients, and 20 CABG patients (matched for age, gender and BMI) undergo a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after hospital discharge (for patients only).During this exercise test, following parameters are assessed at peak effort and at the second ventilatory threshold (determined by VE/VCO2 slope method): oxygen uptake (VO2), oxygen saturation (SaO2), carbon dioxide output (VCO2), resoiratory gas exchange ratio (RER), expiratory volume (VE), ventilatory equivalent for VCO2 (VE/VCO2), ventilatory equivalent for VO2 (VE/VO2), end-tidal O2 pressure (PETO2), end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2), heart rate (HR), oxygen pulse (VO2/HR), cycling power output (W), tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), rate pressure product (RPP). Peak exercise effort is validated by RERpeak.
