How is your health and fitness?
EPR Clinic is one of few private clinics in New Zealand to offer the gold standard cardiopulmonary exercise stress test (a test with ECG and spirometry). This test assesses how your heart and lungs function under stress (exercise), as sometimes problems don't arise until you walk up that flight of stairs, or run out onto that football field!
