Why the study?
Does impaired skeletal muscle metabolism limit exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure?
Does impaired skeletal muscle metabolism limit exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure?
Impaired skeletal muscle metabolism is associated with early metabolic limitation and determines exercise capacity during maximal systemic exercise in patients with chronic heart failure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support muscle metabolic impairment as exercise limiter in CHF; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Okita et al. (1998) studied this question.
