To explain the role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) as the optimal tool to evaluate exertional dyspnoea; to describe the physiological patterns that can be identified by CPET in the assessment of exertional breathlessness; to explain how to utilise CPET in order to differentiate between cardiac, respiratory, vascular, peripheral and other causes of unexplained breathlessness.
