ForwardCardiopulmonary Physiology: Integration of Testing to Enhance Patient Care - Livestream (virual)
Course Directors: Scott A. Helgeson, M.D. and Bryan J. Taylor, Ph.D.
September 24 - 26, 2026 - Internet Live Activity - Río Grande, Puerto Rico
Broadcast in Bolivia Time (BOT)
This course explores various aspects of cardiopulmonary physiologic testing, including cardiopulmonary exercise tests, pulmonary function tests, submaximal stress tests, and impulse oscillometry. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of these studies, incorporating diverse patient scenarios to enhance clinical understanding and application.
Target Audience
Target audience includes physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in the specialties of pulmonology, cardiology, internal medicine, and family medicine.
Respiratory therapists and exercise physiologists may also benefit from this course.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the integrated pulmonary, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular physiologic responses to exercise that underpin normal and abnormal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) results
- Differentiate normal from pathologic responses on CPET, pulmonary function testing (PFT), impulse oscillometry (IOS), and respiratory muscle assessment across common cardiopulmonary disease states
- Apply best practices for conducting, quality-controlling, and interpreting CPET, PFT, and IOS to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary downstream testing
- Identify clinical scenarios in which noninvasive cardiopulmonary testing is insufficient and determine when invasive CPET or advanced testing strategies are indicated
- Integrate cardiopulmonary testing results into individualized exercise prescription and rehabilitation planning to optimize functional outcomes and patient-centered care
