PG18 Postgraduate course
Advanced respiratory and cardiovascular testing (€120)
Clinical
In health and respiratory disease
Registration for this course is additional to the congress registration fee and is €120.
Aims : At the end of the course, the participants will understand the physiological constraints of exercise tolerance and its application in clinical practice; appreciate the optimal methods for testing lung mechanics and spirometry; understand the different formats of exercise tests, their advantages and disadvantages, and their different prognostic values in adults and children; and appreciate the usefulness of exercise testing for evaluating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in clinical practice.
