Abnormal peripheral flow and ventilatory responses may limit exercise capacity in severe HF; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions pending prospective trials.
Does upright exercise alter peripheral circulation and respiratory function differently in patients with severe heart failure compared to normal subjects?
Patients with severe heart failure exhibit abnormal peripheral blood flow and early onset of anaerobic metabolism during exercise compared to healthy controls.
Cowley et al. (1986) studied this question.
