Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing: From Theory to Practice

Date: Friday 24 March, 9am - 12.30pm
Format: Half Day Course
Synopsis: Shortness of breath on exertion and exercise limitation are common among patients with lung disease.

Hence cardiopulmonary exercise testing may be helpful in the diagnosis of breathlessness. This course will cover the theoretical, practical, and interpretative considerations underpinning cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The course will include presentations from international experts and case-based discussions using real-world data.
