Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing by CORTEX - Video

CORTEX Biophysik GmbH, Germany, www.cortex-medical.com

CORTEX specializes in developing, manufacturing and selling Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing systems. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing involves the parallel examination of reactions of a person's heart, lung, vascular and metabolic system while under physical stress.

Basic measurements entered during Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing are: respiratory volume and frequency, oxygen intake, carbon-dioxide output and heart rate. Having these, other parameters can be determined such as minute volume, gas exchange rate and breath equivalents for oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Based on this, sophisticated statements can be made as to the performance of different organs. CORTEX's Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing systems are used in medicine, in high-performance sport and in the fitness sector.
