Why the study?
Does anaerobic threshold determination using ventilatory parameters compare favorably to base excess changes in patients with chronic heart failure?
Does anaerobic threshold determination using ventilatory parameters compare favorably to base excess changes in patients with chronic heart failure?
Anaerobic threshold can be determined in a high percentage of CHF patients, with ventilatory threshold being more frequently determinable than base excess changes, providing an objective criterion for illness severity and exercise prescription.

VT more feasible than -BET for threshold assessment; leaves open its role in guiding exercise prescription pending prospective validation.
