First published in 1987, this comprehensive book covers a wide range of topics including numerous aspects of clinical
exercise testing, normal and abnormal responses to cardiopulmonary testing, and updated information on clinical
applications of exercise testing. The book instructs by using physiologic principles to explain abnormal responses to
exercise caused by diseases that affect tolerance - a topic of interest to cardiologists, pulmonologists, and PM&R
clinicians.

The first third of the book discusses exercise physiology, disease pathophysiology, test protocols, normal values,
measurements and tnterpretation; the remainder of the book consists of 80 case presentations that serve as examples of
how cardiopulmonary exercise testing can be used to diagnose diseases, their severity, and the effectiveness of
treatment. All references have been updated.

- More than 80 case presentations in print to help you form a more accurate diagnosis
- Updated flow charts for clinical presentations and differential diagnosis
- Normal test values for a wide range of patient groups
- Covers critical aspects of exercise testing with updated chapters and new graphics
- Includes a companion website with full text and 30 bonus case presentations
