Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is an important diagnostic test in
pulmonary medicine and cardiology. Capable of providing
significantly more information about an individual's exercise
capacity than standard exercise treadmill or 6-minute walk tests,
the test is used for a variety of purposes including evaluating
patients with unexplained exercise limitation or dyspnea on
exertion, monitoring disease progression or response to treatment,
determining fitness to undergo various surgical procedures and
monitoring the effects of training in highly fit athletes.
Introduction to Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing is a unique new
text that is ideal for trainees. It is presented in a clear,
concise and easy-to-follow manner and is capable of being read in a
much shorter time than the available texts on this topic. Chapters
describe the basic physiologic responses observed during sustained
exercise and explain how to perform and interpret these studies.
The utility of the resource is further enhanced by several sections
of actual patient cases, which provide opportunities to begin
developing test interpretation skills. Given the widespread use of
cardiopulmonary exercise testing in clinical practice, trainees in
pulmonary and critical care medicine, cardiology, sports medicine,
exercise physiology, and occasionally internal medicine, will find
Introduction to Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing to be an essential
and one of a kind reference.

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response
to man's attempts to climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend
more time at altitude for both work and recreation. Building on
this established reputation, the new and highly experienced authors
provide a fully revised and updated text that will help doctors
continue to improve the health and safety of all people who visit,
live or work in the cold, thin air of high mountains. The sixth
edition remains invaluable for any doctor accompanying an
expedition or advising patients on a visit to altitude, those
specialising in illness and accidents in high places, and for
physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen and
the adaptation of the body to altitude.
West. Fisiopatologia pulmonar. Fundamentos aborda el efecto de los
procesos patologicos sobre la funcion respiratoria. Es el
complemento ideal de la obra Fisiologia respiratoria. Fundamentos
del mismo autor, en la que se cubren los principios del
funcionamiento del sistema respiratorio. Ambas, publicadas por
primera vez hace mas de 40 anos, se han traducido a varios idiomas
y han servido a generaciones de estudiantes y profesionales que
trabajan con pacientes respiratorios, con una presentacion de los
temas mas importantes de una manera concisa, directa y facil de
entender. La 10. edicion mantiene la misma estructura de tres
secciones: la primera de ellas establece los fundamentos del
diagnostico a traves de los diferentes metodos disponibles para
evaluar la funcion respiratoria; la segunda seccion aborda la
funcion respiratoria en el pulmon enfermo; y la ultima lo hace
sobre el pulmon insuficiente. La obra cierra con cuatro apendices
que ofrecen un acceso rapido a las respuestas a los casos clinicos
y a las preguntas de evaluacion; a los simbolos, unidades y valores
normales; y a lecturas adicionales.
