CPX testing
- comprehensive and objective medical assessment of fitness
Ever wondered how fit you are? CPX testing measures the cardio
respiratory risk during and following surgery. It has also been used
for many years to individually quantify athletic performance, from
beginner level to the elite.
CPX testing is ideal for...
Patients scheduled for major surgery
For patients undergoing
surgery, the performance of the heart and lungs is crucial.
CPX testing is used by a number of NHS and private medical
teams as a tool to identify high risk patients before an
operation. When high risk patients are identified, medical
teams can administer specialist pre-operative treatment in
order to minimise the risk of cardiac and pulmonary complications.

Rehabilitation
CPX testing can be used to guide rehabilitation
for patients after a major illness or major surgery. The correct
amount of exercise can be assessed within the safe limits of heart
and lung performance.
Weight Loss and Fitness Training
CPX measures metabolism during exercise and
can be incorporated into an exercise regime specifically for weight
loss. CPX also identifies precise zones of exercise which can help
target training goals and define fitness training programmes. >>more
Health check-up
Health assessment is enhanced with CPX, especially
for those with specific heart and lung risk factors such as diabetes,
excess weight, high blood pressure, smoking or a family history
of heart or lung disease.
