Conditions
Brief summary
CPETecho is progressively employed in diagnostic settings for pathophysiological detection, offering comprehensive assessment of both pulmonary and cardiac functions. This technique evolves from its invasive counterpart, where a diagnostic catheter is employed for hemodynamic monitoring, by substituting the invasive component with non-invasive echocardiography. Nevertheless, data on the test-retest reliability of CPETecho remain sparse, a factor critical in differentiating between measurement effects and actual therapeutic impacts.
