I redirected the duplicate. The text of the old page is below:
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a clinical tool to evaluate exercise capacity and predict outcome in patients with heart failure and other cardiac conditions.[1]
Two-day cardiopulmonary exercise testing (2-day CPET) is being utilized by the Workwell Foundation to measure PEM in ME/CFS patients.
Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on 2-day CPET[edit source | reply | new]
Although the Institute of Medicine report states that 2-day CPET is very reliable to objectively measure PEM, the IOM committee emphasized "that the CPET is not required to diagnose patients with ME/CFS. Further, this test carries substantial risk for these patients as it may worsen their condition (Nijs et al., 2010; VanNess et al., 2010)."[2]
