Our Cardiovascular Exercise Physiology Laboratory at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides testing and rehabilitation to children and teens with heart disease.

Our lab is the largest of its kind in the country. We are experts in cardiovascular exercise and heart disease and perform more than 2,000 diagnostic tests each year. We use advanced testing equipment to provide a complete cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic evaluation for your child.

We also provide inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. Our team uses the latest technology to monitor and evaluate the body’s response to exercise. In our state-of-the-art rehab gym, your child will have access to a variety of exercise equipment to best meet their unique needs.
