Purpose: A significant discrepancy between measured oxygen consumption (VO(2)) (via ventilatory expired gas analysis) and estimated VO(2) (via the imposed workload) frequently is reported in the heart failure (HF) population during symptom-limited exercise testing. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the difference between measured and estimated VO(2) (VO(2) discrepancy) during a highly conservative ramping protocol.
Methods: For this study, 28 subjects with compensated HF (20 men and 8 women; age, 51.1 +/- 14.6 years) and 19 healthy control subjects (age-, gender-, and activity-matched to an HF subgroup) underwent symptom-limited exercise testing (treadmill) with ventilatory expired gas analysis.
Results: Peak estimated and measured VO(2) values were significantly higher in the age-, gender-, and activity-matched control group than in the HF group, but the change in measured VO(2) per change in estimated VO(2) (Deltameasured/Deltaestimated VO(2) slope) and the VO(2) discrepancy did not reach statistical significance. Peak estimated VO(2) was a significant predictor of peak measured VO(2) in the overall HF group (R2 = 0.90; P <.001).
Conclusions: Although estimated VO(2) is not considered a replacement for measured VO(2), these results indicate that a highly conservative exercise protocol may allow for a more accurate prediction of peak measured VO(2) via the estimated oxygen cost for a given workload in patients with compensated HF.

Vanadium dioxide ([Formula: see text]) is a favorable material platform of modern optoelectronics, since it manifests the reversible temperature-induced insulator-metal transition (IMT) with an abrupt and rapid changes in the conductivity and optical properties. It makes possible applications of such a phase-change material in the ultra-fast optoelectronics and terahertz (THz) technology. Despite the considerable interest to this material, data on its broadband electrodynamic response in different states are still missing in the literature.

Introduction: Marathon running has become increasingly popular among amateur athletes, many of whom maintain speeds of 8-9 km/h. However, existing methods for estimating oxygen consumption (VO) during running and walking-such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) equations and commercial activity monitors-often lack accuracy and transparency. This study introduces the Hata-Yanagiya Physical Activity Calculation (HYPAC) system, a novel approach for estimating VO using Global Positioning System (GPS) and map data.

Validation of an Aerobic Fitness Questionnaire to estimate VO peak in a cohort of adult cardiac patients - Is it enough?

Introduction And Objectives: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard for quantifying aerobic functional capacity, yet it is costly and not widely available. The CLINIMEX Aerobic Fitness Questionnaire (C-AFQ) may be a practical alternative as it estimates oxygen consumption at peak exercise (VO peak) based on patients' responses to a list of activities with known energy requirements. However, its applicability in cardiac patients is unclear and has not yet been studied.

Background: Continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is used in critically ill patients, but its impact on O₂ and CO₂ removal, as well as the accuracy of resting energy expenditure (REE) measurement using indirect calorimetry (IC) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effects of CVVHDF on O₂ and CO₂ removal and the accuracy of REE measurement using IC in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.
Design: Prospective, observational, single-center study.
