Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in health and respiratory disease
Aims : to understand the physiological constraints of exercise tolerance and its application in clinical practice; to appreciate the optimal methods for testing lung mechanics and spirometry; to understand the different formats of exercise tests, their advantages and disadvantages, and their different prognostic values in adults and children; and to appreciate the usefulness of exercise testing for evaluating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in clinical practice.
Target audience :
