Abstract

Background:We conducted this study to assess the safety of symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) in patients with varying severity of aortic stenosis (AS). We hypothesized that exercise testing would be safe, as defined by a rates for all-cause death of <0.01 and rate of nonfatal major cardiovascular (CV) events <0.1 within 24 hours of CPX. Secondary purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of complications during CPX.
