Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a specialized advanced investigation characterizing in a complex manner the exercise capacity of the person who undertakes it. Thus, on effort electrocardiogram, blood pressure and oxygen saturation are monitored, oxygen consumption rate and carbon dioxide consumption are measured, as well as other ventilator parameters. The information obtained allows an evaluation of all organs and systems involved in the effort process: cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, hematopoietic and mental. In this article, we present the most important parameters resulted from the cardiopulmonary exercise testing and their interpretation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
