Key result
High self-reported fatigue in healthy individuals was significantly associated with lower cardiac index (95% CI -0.046 to -0.014; P<.001) and stroke index at rest and during a stressor.
Why the study?
Is self-reported fatigue associated with altered hemodynamic functioning at rest and during stress in healthy individuals?

Fatigue should not prompt hemodynamic assessment in healthy adults; leaves open causal direction and need for longitudinal studies.

Is self-reported fatigue associated with altered hemodynamic functioning at rest and during stress in healthy individuals?
p-value: p=<.001
Self-reported fatigue correlates with lower cardiac and stroke indices in healthy individuals, suggesting a hemodynamic component to fatigue complaints.
Nelesen et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy individuals (n=142). Self-reported fatigue vs. Low-fatigue was evaluated on Cardiac index (CI) at rest (95% CI -0.046 to -0.014, p=<.001). High self-reported fatigue in healthy individuals was significantly associated with lower cardiac index (95% CI -0.046 to -0.014; P<.001) and stroke index at rest and during a stressor.
