May signal latent LV dysfunction unmasked by exercise in these patients; leaves open generalizability and clinical relevance pending validation.
What are the cardiac hemodynamic responses to exercise in alcoholic patients with chronic liver disease and a presystolic gallop?
Alcoholic patients with chronic liver disease and a presystolic gallop exhibit abnormal cardiac hemodynamics during exercise, suggesting underlying impairment in left ventricular function despite normal resting hemodynamics.
Gould et al. (1969) studied this question.
