Description:
Thoroughly revised and updated for today's clinicians, Wasserman & Whipp's Principles of Exercise Testing and
Interpretation, Sixth Edition, provides a comprehensive, practical overview of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
ideally suited for pulmonologists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and others with an interest in clinical exercise
testing. Written by authors who are uniquely positioned to convey relevant aspects of research and apply them to
clinical contexts, this volume offers in-depth coverage of essential information for conducting CPET, or for utilizing
data from this discipline in clinical practice or research.
ensuring that content is easily accessible to clinicians from a wide variety of backgrounds.
