It remains to be assessed whether the guideline-based exercise intensity domains are internally consistent and agree with physiological responses to exercise in cardiovascular disease patients. Methods: A total of 272 cardiovascular disease patients without pacemaker executed a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test on bike (peak respiratory gas exchange ratio >1.09), to assess peak heart rate (HRpeak), oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and cycling power output (Wpeak). The first and second ventilatory threshold (VT1 and VT2, respectively) was determined and extrapolated to %VO2peak, %HRpeak, %heart rate reserve (%HRR) and %Wpeak for comparison with guideline-based exercise intensity domains. Results: VT1 was noted at 62 10% VO2peak, 75 10% HRpeak, 42 14% HRR and 47 11% Wpeak, corresponding to the high intensity exercise domain (for %VO2peak and %HRpeak) or low intensity exercise domain (for %Wpeak and %HRR). VT2 was noted at 84 9% VO2peak, 88 8% HRpeak, 74 15% HRR and 76 11% Wpeak, corresponding to the high intensity exercise domain (for %HRR and %Wpeak) or very hard exercise domain (for %HRpeak and %VO2peak). At best (when using %Wpeak) in only 63% and 72% of all patients VT1 and VT2, respectively, corresponded to the same guideline-based exercise intensity domain, but this dropped to about 48% and 52% at worst (when using %HRR and %HRpeak, respectively). In particular, the patient’s VO2peak related to differently elicited guideline-based exercise intensity domains (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The guideline-based exercise intensity domains for cardiovascular disease patients seem inconsistent, thus reiterating the need for adjustment. | Keywords: | Cardiovascular rehabilitation;exercise intensity;guidelines | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/29559 | ISSN: | 2047-4873 | e-ISSN: | 2047-4881 | DOI: | 10.1177/2047487319859450 | ISI #: | WOS:000503270700004 | Rights: | The European Society of Cardiology 2019 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2020 |
