This conference focuses on the importance of physical activity and different pulmonary rehabilitation programs with new technologies in relation to new methological approaches in cardiopulmonary exercise tests. The discussion of the importance of circulation in terms of mechanical support and ECMO therapy and respiratory failure, oxygen supplementation are parts of the program. Pulmonary hypertension with different pathophysiological origin, targets and pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise are also in the focus of interest. Known successful research groups will present new experimental and clinical data. The scientific committee includes internationally-known speakers, leaders of the European Respiratory Society and European Society of Cardiology, post-leader of the American Thoracic Society, as well as Hungarian experts in specific fields.

We are waiting for Your participation to discuss these specific topics.
