Text Extraction

A significant amount of equipment for cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX testing), also known as ergoespirometry, is currently being distributed in major cardiology services and cardiac centers in the country. These equipments are produced in Cuba at the Central Institute of Digital Research (ICID, for its acronym in Spanish). For its necessary operation and proper employment in our population, our specialists need to be trained in this modern and advanced technology in today’s world. Although this technology was introduced in Cuba more than 10 years ago, it is now that we consider that its use can be generalized across the country.
