Reproducibility of Peak Oxygen Uptake and Other Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Parameters in Patients With Heart Failure (from the Heart Failure and A Controlled Trial Investigating Outcomes of exercise traiNing)
Abstract
Peak oxygen uptake (pVo2) is an important parameter in assessing the functional capacity and prognosis of patients with heart failure. In heart failure trials, change in pVo2 was often used to assess the effectiveness of an intervention. However, the within-subject variability of pVo2 on serial testing may limit its usefulness. This study was designed to evaluate the within-subject variability of pVo2 over 2 baseline cardiopulmonary exercise …
