Cardiopulmonary exercise testing
The CPET involves cycling on an exercise bike for 8-12 minutes. Starting with a very low resistance on the pedals the patient will pedal at 60 revolutions per minute. After 3 minutes of cycling, the resistance will gradually increase until the patient can no longer turn the pedals at the required speed. The test will be thoroughly explained to the patient beforehand and trained staff will make the experience as comfortable as possible. CPETs will be stopped early by the study researcher/doctor in the presence of any adverse events. Each CPET appointment will last approximately one hour.
