Test of incremental respiratory endurance (TIRE) in patients with cardiovascular disease: agreement, reliability and validity analysis
PURPOSE: peak) in individuals with CVD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 51 individuals with CVD (mean age 62.0 ± 9.9 years; 56% male; 70% ischemic etiology). Participants underwent clinical evaluation, body composition via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, transthoracic echocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, spirometry, and inspiratory muscle performance testing. Agreement, reliability, and validity analyses were conducted using standardized rest intervals. RESULTS: = 0.001) than MIP. CONCLUSIONS: TIRE is a reliable and valid tool for assessing inspiratory muscle strength and performance. SMIP may serve as a functional marker of aerobic capacity in individuals with CVD.
