SATURDAY • MAY 18

Target Audience Current and future directors of CPET labs, attending physicians, respiratory therapists, clinical physiologists, research trainees and clinical fellows, industry partners for clinical trials, other interested health care providers. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • better understand the physiologic principles underlying pulmonary and cardiac function during exercise in cardiopulmonary diseases • better understand the utility of CPET to assess safety and prescription for exercise training or pulmonary rehabilitation; stratify disease severity or prognosis; or diagnose mechanisms of exercise limitation • develop confidence in application, practice and interpretation of CPET in clinical practice This course focuses on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), combing education on CPET guidelines and quality control with introduction to state of the art methods for assessing the upper airway and central hemodynamics during exercise. Interpretive strategies are covered in didactic sessions and by practice-based learning in an interactive small group setting, led by content experts from around the world. The session will also include a live CPET demonstration to reinforce the practical and multidisciplinary aspects of high-quality CPET performance. The session is distinct and complementary to the postgraduate course on pulmonary function testing: delegates are encouraged to attend both to maximize learning opportunities. 8:00 Physiologic Basis for CPET 8:45 Exercise and the Heart: Invasive CPET 9:30 Break 9:45 Exercise and the Lung: Assessing DH, EIB, and the Upper Airway 10:15 Essential Exercise Assessments for Entry Into Pulmonary Rehabilitation 10:45 Conducting the Test: Practical Issues 11:15 Lunch 11:45 Demonstration: Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test With Q&A 12:30 Quality Control and Troubleshooting 1:00 Data Analysis From Graphic Display 1:30 Break 1:45 Reference Values 2:15 Typical CPET Responses Among Disease States
