Cardiopulmonary exercise testing for personalized job reintegration after acute cardiovascular attacks: a pilot cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence for safety and usefulness of "on site" CPET for a personalized statement of fitness for work. This may facilitate the job retention of patients characterized by a high risk of unnecessary job loss. The use of CPET represents a first step of energy expenditure evaluation associated with specific working tasks. PMID: 32352424 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
