What is CPET?
An introduction to the method and clinical significance of cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
Knowledge · Webinars
Webinars on CPET.
Live webinars with our application specialists, or our on-demand library with nine tutorial videos on methodology, threshold determination, and application in clinical practice, research, and performance diagnostics.
The format
30 minutes of CPET. Free and with no obligation.
In our live webinars, our application specialists show what CPET with CORTEX systems can do: a system overview, typical applications, and usage scenarios in clinical practice, research, and performance diagnostics. The webinars are open to everyone, whether as a first contact with our systems or as a look beyond your own setup.
