Since exercise testing in patients with symptomatic AS is not advised, submaximal parameters could be of special interest. We aimed to investigate maximal and submaximal physical capacity by CPET before and 1 year after surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) in patients with severe AS.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this prospective longitudinal study, 30 adult patients (age 66\u00b110 years) with severe AS referred for sAVR underwent maximal CPET (respiratory exchange ratio \u22651.05) on a bicycle ergometer before (PRE) and 1 year after (POST) sAVR.

Median ventilatory threshold (VO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>@VT) increased from 1216 (391) to 1328 (309) mL\/min (p=0.001, n=28). Mean peak oxygen uptake (peakVO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) was not significantly different between PRE and POST; 1871\u00b1441 vs 1937\u00b1404\u2009mL\/min (p=0.08).
