About this course

There is growing recognition of the diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment strategies based on clinical exercise physiology. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides extensive physiological data, enhancing the ability to offer targeted care to individuals, from athletes to those with severe diseases. Recently, clinics and research laboratories have increasingly integrated other modalities into CPET to create more comprehensive data sets for phenotyping or to answer specific clinical or research questions, such as evaluating diastolic function. These integrated data sets pose challenges in data acquisition but offer significant opportunities to improve clinical care. This course will explore the potential applications of various modalities, including echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, and blood sampling, performed in combination with cardiopulmonary testing. Through case examples, we will illustrate how these combined approaches can lead to more precise diagnoses and better treatment strategies.

What you will learn

  • How to achieve quality data from CPET
  • Session attendees will use real data-sets to better understand CPET interpretationLearn about advantages of integrating additional modalities with CPET
  • Explore undifferentiated disease and how CPET provides enhanced opportunities for clinical medicine and research
  • How a framework to interpret complex CPET data, integrated with other diagnostic modalities, provides precision for utility
