Summary

Harbor 58097 had ME/CFS and was investigated by Dr Systrom and Dr Waxman, who did a right heart catheterisation and then a CPET with the catheter still in place; they said this gave them an answer with medical evidence. They reported that Mestinon helped them. The testing gave a look at how the heart, lungs, muscles and nerves react during exertion.
