Expert-level physiological insight into what your heart and lungs are really doing, so you can train smarter, safer, and with real data behind every decision.
Book Your ConsultationYou train consistently, follow a plan, and push through discomfort. But there is a difference between working hard and training with a precise understanding of what your heart and lungs are actually doing. This package suits individuals who want more than a general safety check, whether you are building towards an Ironman, working in a physically demanding role at altitude, or want a data-driven baseline to train from.
You may benefit from this package if you:
If general exercise safety clearance is your primary goal, our Step Up to Fitness or Sports Medical Clearance packages may be a better starting point. Not sure? Get in touch and we will help you decide.
Book Your ConsultationA standard stress test records whether your heart copes. Our Cardiopulmonary Performance Package explains how well, and which system is the limiting factor. The American Heart Association identifies CPET as the most precise method available for evaluating cardiorespiratory fitness, far beyond what heart rate or perceived effort alone can reveal.
Our Cardiopulmonary Performance Package is offered on a self-pay basis with clear, fixed pricing. Everything is bundled together so you know exactly what you are paying for. Booking as a package is more cost-effective than arranging each test separately, and avoids the waiting times that can delay this kind of assessment.
Available as a fixed-price self-pay bundle, making costs clear from the outset.
(Saving £171 compared with booking all tests separately)
Instalment plan available 4 x monthly payments of £591.50, please email us at enquiries@oneheartclinic.com for more details.
If results indicate additional investigations are needed, these will be explained in advance, including any extra costs, so you can decide how to proceed.
This package combines non-invasive cardiac investigations, breath-by-breath gas analysis, and laboratory testing to build a detailed, personalised picture of how your heart and lungs perform. All investigations are coordinated in a single visit where possible, with results turned around promptly.
A review of your history, training goals, and any previous cardiac findings, so your data is interpreted in the right context from the outset.
Baseline recording of heart rhythm and electrical conduction.
Ultrasound of the heart chambers, wall thickness, valve function, and pump performance.
Breath-by-breath analysis of oxygen uptake (VO2), CO2 clearance, ventilatory thresholds, and aerobic capacity during graded exercise.
A small earlobe prick at peak effort measuring how blood sugar and metabolic markers shift under maximum exertion. This gives insight into energy use, metabolic health, and diabetes risk that standard tests cannot provide.
Tracked at rest, during exercise, and in recovery to detect any abnormal responses.
Cholesterol, glucose, thyroid, and kidney and liver markers to identify systemic factors affecting performance.
All results reviewed with personalised training zone guidance and risk-reduction advice.
Every assessment is led by a consultant cardiologist experienced in both cardiac health and exercise physiology. The 2020 ESC Guidelines on Sports Cardiology highlight the importance of specialist-led interpretation of CPET findings, particularly for athletes with complex histories. Here, your data is reviewed in the context of your training and goals, not as isolated numbers on a report.
All investigations are coordinated in a single visit where possible, and results are turned around promptly, so you’re not left waiting. You have direct access to your consultant and the wider team by phone, email, or live chat, with same-day responses as standard, so you are not left waiting.
Your heart deserves the best. With our expert team and unmatched care, we’re here to help you thrive.
Your heart health is in the hands of OHC’s renowned cardiologists and surgeons, whose expertise shapes global standards.
Our ConsultantsA standard stress test monitors ECG and blood pressure during exercise. CPET simultaneously measures breath-by-breath gas exchange, giving precise data on VO2 max, ventilatory thresholds, and efficiency. It tells you not just whether your heart copes, but how well, and which system is the bottleneck.
Capillary blood gas testing involves a small earlobe prick taken at peak exertion. It measures how blood sugar and metabolic markers change under maximum effort, providing insight into energy metabolism, diabetes risk, and metabolic health that other exercise tests do not capture. It is included as standard in all our CPET assessments.
Yes. CPET data translates directly into heart-rate or power-based training zones built around your individual ventilatory thresholds and VO2 profile. Your consultant can provide these or work with your coach to integrate them into your programme.
In many cases, yes, though suitability depends on your diagnosis and stability. Your consultant will review your history before testing, and the protocol can be adjusted to your clinical status.
Yes. You will receive written instructions covering food, caffeine, and any medications that can affect results. Wear comfortable exercise clothing and bring any inhalers or routine medications.
No. You can book directly. Previous results or letters are useful to bring but are not required.
Yes, through Chrysalis Finance. Email enquiries@oneheartclinic.com or speak to the team for details.
Schedule your assessment at a convenient clinic location as a self-pay patient. Our team will confirm the details, tell you what to expect, and answer any questions before your visit.
Meet your cardiologist and attend for your ECG, echocardiogram, full CPET, capillary blood gas sampling, and blood tests, coordinated into a single visit where possible.
Your cardiologist reviews your results, explains what each measure means for how you train, and provides personalised training zones and risk-reduction advice.
