LOINC long common name : Ventilatory threshold [Volume Rate Content];
LOINC short name : Ventilatory threshold;
LOINC description : The ventilatory threshold (VT) is the intensity of exercise at which the production
of carbon dioxide and consequent increase in ventilation, both of which are related
to the production of lactate during exercise, become disproportionately higher than
oxygen consumption (VO2). The VT usually occurs at about 60-70% of maximum oxygen
consumption. Both VT and maximum VO2 are predictors of mortality in patients with
congestive heart failure. [PMID: 21977155] The specific method used to calculate the
VT should be reported along with the result.;
