Stringer, William W., James E. Hansen, and K. Wasserman. Cardiac output estimated noninvasively from oxygen uptake during exercise. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(3): 908-912, 1997.---Because gas-exchange measurements during cardiopulmonary exercise testing allow noninvasive measurement of oxygen uptake (VO2), which is equal to cardiac output (CO) × arteriovenous oxygen content difference [C(a-vDO2)], CO and stroke volume could theoretically be estimated if the C(a-vDO2) increased in a predictable fashion as a function of %maximum VO2 (VO2 max) during exercise. To investigate the behavior of C(a-vDO2) during progressively increasing ramp pattern cycle ergometry exercise, 5 healthy subjects performed 10 studies to exhaustion while arterial and mixed venous blood were sampled. Samples were analyzed for blood gases (pH, PCO2, PO2) and oxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin concentration with a CO-oximeter. The C(a-vDO2) (ml/100 ml) could be estimated with a linear regression [C(a-vDO2) = 5.72 + 0.105 × %VO2 max; r = 0.94]. The CO estimated from the C(a-vDO2) by using the above linear regression was well correlated with the CO determined by the direct Fick method (r = 0.96). The coefficient of variation of the estimated CO was small (7-9%) between the lactic acidosis threshold and peak VO2. The behavior of C(a-vDO2), as related to peak VO2, was similar regardless of cardiac function compared with similar measurements from studies in the literature performed in normal and congestive heart failure patients. In summary, CO and stroke volume can be estimated during progressive work rate exercise testing from measured VO2 (in normal subjects and patients with congestive heart failure), and the resultant linear regression equation provides a good estimate of C(a-vDO2).
