In medicine, limitations of the cardiopulmonary overall system are precisely analysed by using Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing systems based on differential diagnosis. The respiratory gas analysis is often combined with ECG monitoring.

The main advantage of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing compared to examinations when at rest: Certain symptoms of diseases, as e.g. dyspnoea or a sudden drop in performance, only occur when under physical stress and can thus be diagnosed
much easier and at an earlier stage.

This is why cardiologists, pulmonologists, diabetes experts and rehabilitation physicians often use Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing systems from CORTEX. But even in cases in which individual physical limits of people at work or in leisure time are to be evaluated or changed, physicians use the respiratory gas analysis.

In your expert hands cardiopulmonary exercise testing with ECG recording is an excellent instrument for diagnosis, treatment monitoring and prevention. With the all-round expertise of a world market leader, CORTEX is your partner.
