Abstract:[Purpose] The initial cardiopulmonary response to exercise is hypothesized to be a useful
predictor of aerobic threshold in patients with heart failure. This study aimed to
evaluate the correlation between aerobic threshold and cardiopulmonary responses to
exercise onset by comparing patients with heart failure using preserved (≥50%) and reduced
(<50%) left ventricular ejection fractions. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-eight
males (age, 36–82 years; 12 with preserved and 16 with reduced left ventricular eje… Show more
