Overview
Patients referred for cardiac and thoracic surgery are increasingly complex and require careful assessment. Investigations form an important part of their management. Some of these tests are not used routinely and require expert interpretation. This webinar by an expert cardiologist will educate about some of these advanced investigations for e.g. nuclear perfusion scan, stress echo and cardiopulmonary exercise testing including their utility and interpretation.
