doi:10.3969/j.issn.1007-9572.2016.35.003

Abstract

Abstract: The role of cardiac rehabilitation in secondary prevention in patients with chronic heart failure（CHF） has been emphasized by clinicians,and the exercise rehabilitation is the core of cardiac rehabilitation.Cardiopulmonary exercise testing has a unique advantage in exercise capacity evaluation,exercise prescription formulation,exercise effect and prognosis evaluation.This article reviewed the research progress of application of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in cardiac exercise rehabilitation among CHF patients,including objective and quantitative holistic function assessment,precise formulation of individualized exercise prescription,exercise rehabilitation efficacy evaluation,prognosis estimation,individualized assessment of other rehabilitation program,and holistic health management

Key words: Heart failure, Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, Rehabilitation

摘要： 心脏康复在慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者二级预防中的作用已得到临床医师的重视，心脏运动康复是心脏康复的核心内容，而心肺运动试验在患者运动能力评估、心脏康复运动处方制定、康复效果及预后评价等方面具有独特优势。本文综述了心肺运动试验在CHF患者心脏运动康复中的应用，包括客观定量整体功能评估、精准指导制定个体化运动处方、评估心脏运动康复治疗效果、预测预后、个体化评估其他康复项目治疗效果和指导整体健康管理等方面研究的最新进展。
