Is the Metronome-Paced Tachypnea Test (MPT) Ready for Clinical Use? Accuracy of the MPT in a Prospective and Clinical Study

Conclusion: MPT seems to be a good replacement for CPET in group studies. The mean amount of DH was not different between CPET and MPT. On an individual level, MPT cannot be used to identify hyperinflators; it should be kept in mind that MPT overdiagnoses DH. The amount of DH should not be interchanged between CPET and MPT.Respiration
