A member asked:

Could a pulmonary function test cause a heart attack?

No: A simple pulmonary function test is not an exercise test requiring running or biking. It is just recording breathing volumes during normal breathing and forced expiration.

No: In more than 30 years of pulmonary medicine i've never heard of a heart attack occurring during pulmonary function tests.
