MET-Test

Most heart attacks occur before a treadmill stress test can detect any abnormalities. On the other hand, a CPET has the capability to flag the earliest stages of heart disease - sometimes decades before a heart attack is to occur.

Early detection allows for earlier treatment and hashtag of cardiovascular events.

Treadmill stress tests are a thing of the past - prevention is the way forward!

The American Heart Association published a 48 page scientific statement detailing the use of measured cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in clinical settings.

The main takeaway? "An individual's CRF level was a stronger predictor of mortality than established risk factors such as , , , and ."

The gold-standard for measuring CRF? Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing.

What would your CPET say?

Prevention is the future of medicine. Not only can a CPET detect these issues, it can do so BEFORE they lead to symptoms. It's easy to see how it's becoming one of the leading diagnostic tools for a multitude of conditions.
