Research summary
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPEX) is increasingly being used in the clinical setting by various specialities because of the comprehensive wealth of data that can be acquired with a single test. It is a non-invasive and dynamic test that looks at an individual’s performance at maximal exercise, and can provide valuable information about the cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic status of an individual under physical stress.
We hope to us the data collected from this study to establish a range of reference values for studies that are currently being conducted by the University of Aberdeen and the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary which looks at CPEX testing in patients with cardiac conditions.
