Abstract | Aims: In each cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), resting spirometry is performed in advance. In patients with a congenital heart defect (CHD), lung volumes are often impaired. This study investigates correlations between lung volumes and CPET parameters and determines, whether body plethysmography provides substantial additional information for these patients. Methods: Data from 102 patients (23.8 ± 10.4 years of age, 39 female) with various forms of CHD were examined from April 2018 to October 2022. All patients underwent spirometry (measuring forced vital capacity, FVC and forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FEV1), body plethysmography (measuring total lung capacity, TLC) and an exhausting CPET. Data is presented as the median and interquartile range (z-scores) and correlated with Spearman's rho. Results: Fifty-five% of all patients had normal results in lung function and 45% had normal peak oxygen uptake (≥ 80% predicted in peak VO Conclusion: Spirometry and exercise capacity positively correlate, also in CHD patients. However, body plethysmography does not provide additional or improved prediction and is therefore only recommended in noteworthy results in spirometry to exclude further lung co-morbidities. |
