Dear all

There is an international study being performed to establish which patients are best investigated via CPET preoperatively. It is called DELPHI and involves international experts in our field.

Please get involved by going to the following website: it will not cost you anything.

Dear all

I have just added a video on ‘Muscle fibres’ which is on our ‘Playlist’ on the left text column when you load YouTube. Some of you have been having problems accessing this.

To help with this the direct link is
https://youtu.be/x9c=UW8769Q
enter this in the ‘Search’ box on the YouTube once you have opened it. It is at the top of the page.

There are two others on our exclusive Playlist

My regards

Dear all

If you open YouTube you will see a column on the left showing you the various possibilities available.

CLICK on ‘Playlists‘ and a new page will open. This page will have three or more large icons. The one on the left is set up by me and has videos pertaining to CPET.

CLICK on ‘View full playlist’ under that icon and you will see that there are two choice of videos available to you.

The one on ‘Anaerobic threshold’ is a presentation of Professor Agostoni and could be of interest to all of you.
The other is an introduction to ‘Exercise and CPET’ which gives an insight of what CPET is all about for anyone interested.

Hope you find something of interest.

My best regards

Paul Older
