Exercise Capacity in Diseases and Health
- Conditions
- Exercise Capacity
- Registration Number
- NCT02575469
- Lead Sponsor
- Rambam Health Care Campus
- Brief Summary
Exercise capacity is a key factor to evaluate and treat patients in different diseases (e.g. ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis). The best way to measure exercise capacity is to perform a cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Normal/reference values in health and disease relate to specific population and subpopulations. The population in Israel is unique in its diversity.
Objectives: Data collection of exercise capacity assessment in health and illness in the northern of Israel for future local database.
Population: 500 Patients evaluated routinely in the exercise lab (pediatric cardiology institute) and healthy volunteers evaluated as controls.
Study design: Prospective observational study. Participants will answer a health related questioner, undergo a physical examination, perform a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill or a cycle ergometer.
