Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a dynamic clinical tool for determining the cause for a person's exercise limitation. CPET provides clinicians with fundamental knowledge of the coupling of external to internal respiration (oxygen and carbon dioxide) during exercise. Subtle perturbations in CPET parameters can differentiate exercise responses among individual patients and disease states. However, perhaps due to challenges in interpretation given the amount and complexity of data obtained, CPET is underutilized. In this article, we review fundamental concepts in CPET data interpretation and visualization. We also discuss future directions for how to best utilize CPET results to guide clinical care. Finally, we share a novel three-dimensional (3D) graphical platform for CPET data that simplifies conceptualization of organ system-specific (cardiac, pulmonary, and skeletal muscle) exercise limitations. Our goal is to make CPET testing more accessible to the general medical provider and make the test of greater use in the medical toolbox. This article discusses fundamental concepts and future directions for cardiopulmonary exercise testing interpretation and visualization.
