Systems, methods, and computer executable instructions for monitoring a patients cardiopulmonary status and/or providing feedback-based control regarding the same. Such methods include, and such systems are configured for, determining a cardiopulmonary status based upon measured data, e.g., from a plurality of sensors, comparing the determined cardiopulmonary status with input data, e.g., input data indicating a target cardiopulmonary status, and providing a result signal based upon the comparison. The result signal may include a display signal for displaying an indication of the result of the comparison, an audio alert signal for audibly provided an indication of the result of the comparison, and/or a control signal for controlling an exercise apparatus in accordance with the result of the comparison.
