AT may quantify post-MI exercise LV impairment and treatment effects; leaves open prospective validation before guiding therapy or training.
Does the anaerobic threshold provide quantitative information on left ventricular dysfunction and treatment response during exercise in post-myocardial infarction patients?
The anaerobic threshold is a useful non-invasive parameter for assessing exercise-induced left ventricular impairment, evaluating haemodynamic responses to pharmacological treatments, and prescribing individualized exercise training in post-MI patients.
Opasich et al. (1988) studied this question.
