Peak exercise capacity prediction from a submaximal exercise test in coronary artery disease patients

Peak exercise capacity prediction from a submaximal exercise test in coronary artery disease patients

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a rating of perceived exertion scale (RPE) obtained during submaximal exercise could be used to predict peak exercise capacity (METpeak) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Angiographically documented CAD patients (n = 124, 87% on β blockade)...
