The test is not a pass/failure. Each person is compared to individuals of their same age, height and weight. Functional capacities (V02) greater than 85% are desired. Included in the results are stroke volume, the presence/absence of inducible dysfunction, and ventilatory efficiency. Other measurements are obtained and will be further explained at the follow up with our provider. Each person is provided a cardiovascular exercise prescription based on oxygen consumption which is considered the gold standard.
