Why use cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing with a pulmonary evaluation?
This test combines measurements of the patient’s ventilation, respiratory gas exchange in the lungs, electrocardiogram (EKG), blood pressure and physical responses before, during and following a progressive exercise protocol. Consequently, it provides the physician with an integrated view of the pathological and physiological limitations unavailable by any other means. Many health professionals and patients are discovering the benefits and how the data may be used in a wide variety of applications.
