Wasserman 9-Panel Plot
The Wasserman 9-Panel Plot, often called a Nine-Panel Plot, is a standard layout for the graphical representation of data produced by a cardiopulmonary exercise test.[1] The layout was updated in 2012. The graphs give an overview of cardiovascular, ventilatory, and gas exchange parameters.[2]
Eponym[edit | edit source]
The Wasserman 9-Panel Plot is named for American physiologist Professor Karlman Wasserman M.D. Ph.D., who first displayed the data in this manner.[3] Professor Wasserman worked extensively on pulmonary physiology, and also described the "gear wheel model" used for explaining results obtained from the test.
