Pediatric and Adult Congenital Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing: Protocols and Metabolic Indices

About this course

Please visit this page for more information on CEPA.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been used for decades to assess cardiac function in pediatric patients born with congenital heart diseases. As surgical techniques and medical management of these patients have improved, their life expectancies have also increased. CPET continues to be a valuable tool used in their ongoing cardiology care. This presentation will focus on the testing protocols and metabolic indices used in patients with pediatric and adult congenital heart disease.

What you will learn

• Application of testing protocols to meet the specific needs of pediatric and adult congenital heart disease patients
• Interpretation of metabolic indices acquired during a maximal exercise test
• Role of the clinical exercise physiologist in a cardiopulmonary exercise physiology lab
