Why the study?
Does submaximal supine exercise alter pulmonary extravascular and intravascular fluid volumes in cardiac patients?
Does submaximal supine exercise alter pulmonary extravascular and intravascular fluid volumes in cardiac patients?
Submaximal exercise in cardiac patients increases pulmonary extravascular and intravascular fluid volumes, likely due to transudation at higher capillary pressures and capillary recruitment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Potential fluid shifts warrant caution during supine exercise testing in cardiac patients; leaves open effects on outcomes and testing standards.
Luepker et al. (1971) studied this question.
