ClinicalCarbon dioxide end tidal baseline - sub-maximal exercise delta
Definition
Evaluating the difference between end tidal carbon dioxide (ET CO2) levels before and after submaximal exercise can distinguish healthy patients from those with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), as well as determine the severity of PAH. [PMID: 21622009]
