Met-Test

Met-Test works to shift the focus from diagnosing developed heart disease to preventing it.

"Most people think heart disease is obvious and easy to detect, yet emerging research shows women develop cardiovascular risk in completely different ways that traditional tests fail to catch."

Unlike treadmills, bikes reduce the risk of tripping or falling, making them a safer option, esp. for older or less conditioned individuals.

Also, because the bike supports the user’s weight, subjects can push harder w/o the fear of falling, allowing for a truer max effort.

Researchers gathered cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and CAC for 8,000+ men w/o clinical CVD over 9 years. They found:

✔️ CVD events inc. with inc. CAC

✔️ CVD events dec. with inc. CRF

✔️ At any CAC level, higher CRF lowers the risk of CVD events

Even after adjusting for traditional cardiac risk factors, higher CRF was strongly associated with a lower mortality risk. Lower CRF was linked to higher death rates.

Dr. Robert Butler:

1975 - Founding director of the National Institute on Aging
1990- Founded US branch of International Longevity Center
1995 - Chair to White House Conference on Aging

Dr. Butler learned the importance of exercise in regard to aging/longevity. His thoughts? 👇

By reducing the spread of respiratory droplets, filters protect patients and staff from bacterial/viral exposures.

Not only does this improve safety for all involved, pulling out a fresh filter for each patient gives them peace of mind and a more comfortable testing experience.

Depression is not only a mental health issue + can contribute to a higher rate of IHD + cardiac events.

Met-Test's CPET spots IHD before symptoms appear. Early detection + tailored management reduces IHD burden, prevents IHD progression, + leads to improved mental health status.

Although selected CPET parameters relate to severity of angina symptoms and quality of life, only an oxygen-pulse plateau detects the severity of myocardial ischemia and predicts the efficacy of PCI in patients with single-vessel CAD.

Met-Test’s CPET offers a powerful tool to help you manage your patients' health with precision. Here's how it can elevate your practice:

-Detecting Endothelial Dysfunction

-Zone 2 Exercise Prescription

-Track Health Trajectory

With early detection, aggressive risk factor management and personalized exercise therapy, Met-Test enables departments to prioritize fire fighter health.

What could Met-Test do for your department?

[Met-Test @myMetTest]

Early heart disease detection through Met-Test allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of heart events. Catching issues early can also mean avoiding costly treatments like surgeries & hospitalizations.

Earlier detection = lives saved.

TMSTs have been a standard tool for assessing heart health, but they have limitations.

Why is CPET better than the treadmill stress test?

1.     Comprehensive Data
2.     Precision & Accuracy
3.     Personalized Treatment Plans

Why aren't more doctors using CPET?

[Met-Test @myMetTest]

CPET = higher sensitivity, more comprehensive, and earlier detection

Traditional TMST have been a standard tool for assessing heart health, but they have limitations—limitations that the Met-Test's CPET overcomes.

Stay tuned for why more docs aren’t using it!

Check out our most recent case study!

While this patient presented with ongoing fatigue, her MD ordered a MET-TEST CPET for the Zone 2 exercise prescription. Turns out there was more beneath the surface.

We're so thankful our service was able to help!

Ignoring Zone2 can leave you with a low AT + a reduced aerobic base - even if you have a good PeakVO2.

More time in Zone2 increases the AT by improving endothelial function +microcirculation and lowers BP+lipids.

This also bumps up the aerobic base and a stagnant Peak VO2!
