Thank you to those that were able to join us in March for the 2024 Clinical Exercise Testing and Therapeutics Symposium presented by Cincinnati Children's Heart Institute.

Conference programming addressed exercise testing electrophysiology, metabolic measurements, and the utility of echocardiography. We also addressed exercise testing, frailty assessment, and cardiac rehabilitation in a diverse range of clinical settings including patients with congenital and acquired heart disease, patients with pulmonary disease, patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) as a bridge to cardiac transplant and patients treated for cancer.

Audience:

Clinical exercise and rehabilitation professionals, physicians, allied health professionals, nurses and students are invited to attend this innovative program.

Topics to be covered include:
