New Lung Procedure Helps Doctors Better Identify Health Issues In Oklahomans

A medical procedure that helps figure out why people have a hard time breathing is now available to Tulsa residents.

Oklahoma Heart Institute is the first in Oklahoma to offer Cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

Patients pedal a bike and the resistance increases during the procedure.

It gives doctors the complete picture of how well your lungs, heart and skeletal muscles work together to process oxygen.

Until now, people might wait years to get results but they can now get answers immediately.
