Altitude Matters: New CPET Model Improves Accuracy New norms consider how altitude can change exercise capacity.

Our #PedsCardiology experts created the first norms for pediatric cardiopulmonary exercise testing at moderate altitude from the largest reported dataset. Read how this improves diagnostic accuracy and fills gaps in existing sea-level data. #CardioSky
