Impact of right ventricular contractile reserve during low‐load exercise on exercise intolerance in heart failure

Impact of right ventricular contractile reserve during low‐load exercise on exercise intolerance in heart failure

Abstract Aims Traditional criteria for heart transplantation by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) include peak oxygen uptake (VO2) < 14 mL/kg/min. Reaching a sufficient exercise load is challenging for patients with refractory heart failure (HF) because of their exercise intolerance. Recentl...
