Breathwork: Demystifying Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) with Ciarán Heatley

lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 30:09

Join hosts Dr Margaret Higgins and Dr Marissa O’Callaghan as they sit down with respiratory physiology expert Ciarán Heatley to explore the science and clinical value of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET). Moving beyond static resting tests, this episode highlights how CPET provides dynamic, real-time insight into integrated cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and muscular responses to exercise. Ciarán, who leads the Respiratory Physiology Laboratory at Mater University Hospital Dublin, draws on over a decade of experience to explain what CPET truly measures and how it is applied in modern respiratory and cardiovascular care. The discussion covers CPET’s role in diagnosing unexplained dyspnoea, preoperative risk stratification, transplant assessment, pulmonary hypertension management, and personalised rehabilitation planning. Key Topics Covered 1. What CPET Really Measures CPET is more than a stress test—it evaluates ventilatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and muscular responses during exercise. Core parameters discussed include VO₂ max, metabolic threshold (VT1), and respiratory compensation point (VT2), with emphasis on the distinction between aerobic capacity and functional capacity. 2. Clinical Applications CPET is valuable for: Investigating unexplained breathlessness Preoperative risk assessment for major surgery Heart and lung transplant evaluation Monitoring treatment response in pulmonary arterial hypertension Assessing pregnancy risk in congenital disease Individualised pulmonary rehabilitation planning 3. What the Test Involves A full CPET takes approximately 90 minutes, including setup, an 8–12 minute exercise phase, and interpretation. Bike ergometry is preferred clinically. Equipment includes ECG, spirometry, a metabolic mask, and continuous blood pressure monitoring. Safety protocols require two physiologists and one doctor present. 4. Interpreting CPET Data The episode breaks down: VT1 and VT2 identification Ventilatory efficiency (V̇E/V̇CO₂) Detection of V/Q mismatch and pulmonary hypertensionChronotropic incompetence and heart rate reserveVentilatory limitation vs maximum voluntary ventilationThe impact of obesity on interpretation 5. Referral Considerations Good referrals clearly state the clinical question, relevant comorbidities, and medications (especially beta-blockers). Contraindications include acute illness, recent MI, severe cognitive or mobility impairment, and significant claustrophobia. 6. CPET in Ireland CPET remains underutilised compared to the NHS, largely due to resource, training, and education gaps. However, there is growing recognition of respiratory physiology’s role within Irish healthcare.

Breathwork: Digital Asthma Management with Professor Richard Costello

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 27:01

In this episode, Irish respiratory fellows Barry and Sandra sit down with Professor Richard Costello to explore the rapidly evolving world of digital asthma care. From eosinophils and T2 inflammation to the future of smart inhalers and precision monitoring, this conversation dives deep into how technology is reshaping diagnosis, adherence, and long-term management. Professor Richard Costello discusses the challenges of diagnosing a highly variable disease, the limitations of symptom-based tools like the ACT, and why biomarkers and digital home spirometry are essential in modern asthma practice. They cover how digital devices can reveal patient behaviour, uncover hidden comorbidities, and distinguish difficult-to-treat asthma from true severe asthma. The episode also explores the emerging potential of closed-loop smart inhalers, real-time lung function monitoring, and how personalised dosing may soon become a reality. Along the way, the team unpacks overlooked side effects of chronic inhaled steroids, the importance of steroid stewardship, and how Ireland can move toward a more decentralised, digitally enabled model of asthma care. Chapters 00:00 – Introduction 00:31 – Episode Overview 01:15 – Rapid-Fire Round: True or False 03:45 – The Importance of Eosinophils & T2 InflammationDr. Costello explains why identifying T2 inflammation is central to diagnosing and managing asthma. 06:15 – Challenges in Diagnosing AsthmaVariability, biomarkers, bronchial responsiveness, and why asthma remains difficult to diagnose in 2025. 09:40 – The Role of Home SpirometryHow home monitoring helps differentiate asthma from mimics and guides treatment decisions. 12:10 – Differentiating Difficult-to-Treat vs Severe AsthmaUsing digital adherence data to distinguish true severity from difficult to treat asthma. 14:20 – The Future: Smart, Closed-Loop InhalersHow inhalers may soon auto-dose based on real-time airflow and physiology. 17:00 – Understanding the User, Not Just the DeviceDigital data reveals patient behaviour patterns and barriers to adherence. 20:10 – When Symptoms Aren’t AsthmaReflux, deconditioning, cardiac disease, and other asthma mimics uncovered through monitoring. 22:20 – Hidden Side Effects of High-Dose SteroidsAdrenal suppression, cataracts, diabetes, and why symptom-based escalation can lead to elevated steroid exposure. 25:00 – The Limitations of the ACT & Symptom ScoresWhy subjective questionnaires fall short in a multimorbid population. 27:10 – Ireland’s Future: Digital Home Monitoring & Decentralised CareHow integrated hubs and digital platforms could streamline diagnosis and management. 30:00 – Looking Ahead 31:29 – Closing Remarks Guest: Professor Richard Costello Professor Richard Costello is a professor of respiratory medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and a consultant at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin.
