Direct measurements of peak VO2 show profoundly impaired cardiorespiratory fitness
post-acute type A aortic dissection repair. Interventions to improve fitness and perhaps
long-term prognosis should be developed and tested.

- PreviewCardiorespiratory fitness (as measured by peak oxygen consumption [VO2peak]) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Limited data exist on VO2peak following repair for an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) or proximal thoracic aortic aneurysm (pTAA). This study prospectively evaluated VO2peak, functional capacity, and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) following open repair. Participants with a history of an ATAAD (n = 21) or pTAA (n = 43) performed cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX), 6-minute walk testing, and HR-QOL at 3 (early) and 15 (late) months following open repair.
