This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a special exercise test that measures both your heart and lung function gives reliable results. The test combines an exercise stress test with heart ultrasound imaging (echocardiography) to get a complete picture of how your heart and lungs work together during physical activity. Researchers want to confirm that if you take this test twice, you'll get similar results both times—which matters because doctors need to trust the test results to make good treatment decisions.
Right now, doctors don't have enough information about whether this combined test is reliable when repeated. Understanding this is crucial because doctors need to know if changes in test results mean your condition has actually changed, or if they're just normal variation from one test to the next.

You will complete the same exercise test twice, with exactly one week between the two visits. During each test, you'll exercise (usually on a treadmill or stationary bike) while doctors monitor your heart using ultrasound imaging and measure your breathing. The second test allows researchers to see how consistent the results are and whether the test is reliable for detecting real changes in your heart and lung function.
