The Belgian Working Group on Preventive Cardiology (part of the BSC) joins forces once again with Duomed Belgium to organise the 14th Update Symposium Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing.
Theoretical background and practical issues concerning exercise tests will be presented and discussed, together with some interesting case studies.
Due to the multidisciplinary character of these exercise tests, this course is intended for cardiologists, pulmonologists, sports doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, students and technicians, both experienced and less experienced in CPET.
