CPET Core Lab
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a noninvasive, integrative test of the whole body exercise response and is considered the gold standard in integrated performance measures. BCRI provides a central facility with hands on experience in CPET informed by years of clinical excellence and research in the field.

Cardio-Pulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)
Our specialized team of cardiologists, intern-ists and residents has a high level of exper-tise in performing and reading CPET. They are trained according to international stand-ards and are actively shaping the future of CPET within the international CPET com-munity.
Services
Our CPET Core Lab is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. We provide the full range of CPET:
- support
- hands on training
- theoretical teaching
- consultation for the planning of experi-mental designs and challenges
- site visits
- (remote) equipment calibration and certifi-cation
- enhancing site-performance
- establishing uniformity and harmonization in a variety of CPET setups
- assisting with tests
- data management, handling and pro-cessing via a cloud based web service
- normal-subject validations
- clinical care validations
- quality control & assurance
- centralized test reading
- timely results
- Clinical judgment
We host an easy-to-use, easily accessible web based system to exchange CPET tests, perform centralized reading and provide feedback and within 48 hours.
Treadmill and cyclic ergometer challenges are fully supported; other CPET applications can be implemented as required.
Our state-of-the art CPET Laboratory not only provides diagnostic services within the Clinical Study Center (CRU) at Charité, Campus Virchow, Berlin, Germany. We also act as a globally active CPET Core Laboratory for cohort studies, registries, observational studies and interventional multicenter clinical trials for surrogate parameter outcome assessment.
Our CPET Laboratory and CPET Core Laboratory have an established track record of cutting edge research in a wide spectrum of patients with heart and lung disease.
We assist and advise sponsors and investigators on clinical cohort studies, registries, observational studies and clinical trials with regard to performance related assessment in clinical research.
