Why the study?
Does an indeterminable anaerobic threshold have prognostic value in patients with heart failure?
Does an indeterminable anaerobic threshold have prognostic value in patients with heart failure?
An indeterminable anaerobic threshold is a marker of severe heart failure and carries independent prognostic significance.
Indeterminable AT marks severe HF independently; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
The inability to identify AT most often occurs in patients with severe HF, and it has an independent prognostic role in HF.
