Formal exercise testing can provide valuable and objective insights into a patient's cardiopulmonary condition and capacity.
Most clinical tests done by pediatric cardiologists (other than exercise tests), assess the cardiopulmonary system when a patient is at rest (lying still). Although valuable, these tests do not necessarily predict how a patient's cardiopulmonary system will respond to the demands of exercise, or measure the patient's true capacity to perform physical activities. The testing done in Children's Exercise Physiology Laboratory provides this assessment.
