Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Reference Values for Tetralogy of Fallot Patients

Data collected between 2020 and 2024 from 290 asymptomatic repaired Tetralogy of Fallot patients. The dataset provides sex- and age-specific reference values for cardiopulmonary exercise testing on treadmill and cycle ergometer, authored by Benedetta Leonardi. Median VO₂ peak was 26.4 mL/min/kg, and median age at CPET was 21.6 years.

Use Cases

• Establish clinical reference ranges for cardiopulmonary exercise parameters based on modality and sex.
• Compare exercise performance between treadmill and cycle ergometer protocols in a specific patient cohort.
• Analyze the relationship between physical activity levels (IPAQ) and cardiopulmonary function metrics.
• Assess the impact of age stratification on key CPET outcomes like VO₂ peak and oxygen pulse.

Strengths

• Includes 290 patient records, providing a substantial cohort size.
• Provides specific median values for key parameters like VO₂ peak (26.4 mL/min/kg) and oxygen pulse (9.9 mL/beat).
• Data is stratified by sex, age (<18 vs. ≥18 years), and exercise modality (treadmill vs. cycle ergometer).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the 2020-2024 collection period.
