摘要:
We have investigated the value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the pre-operative assessment of patients for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Thirty-six patients were entered into the study. All had a pre-operative clinical assessment and investigations including chest radiograph, electrocardiograph, spirometry and echocardiogram with measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction. Each patient performed a symptom limited treadmill exercise test using a STEEP protocol with on-line measurement of respiratory gas exchange. Patients were followed up for 12 months post-operatively by review of casenotes.
