Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can detect underlying early signs of cardiovascular problems in asymptomatic pediatric cancer survivors that other types of monitoring cannot, according to a study led by Nemours Children’s Health, published in the journal Pediatric Cardiology. The findings are vital for hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. who have survived childhood cancer but face increased risk for serious cardiovascular disorders in middle age.
