The Belgian Working Group on Preventive Cardiology (part of the BSC) joins forces once again with Duomed Belgium to organise the 15th Update Symposium Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing.
This year, we will focus on the practical topics and correct measurements of CPET testing.
Due to the multidisciplinary character of these exercise tests, this course is intended for cardiologists, pulmonologists, sports doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, students and technicians, with limited experience in CPET.
