The association between normal lung function and peak oxygen uptake in patients with exercise intolerance and coronary artery disease.
In coronary artery disease (CAD), exercise intolerance with reduced oxygen uptake at peak exercise (VO2peak) is assumed to primarily reflect cardiovascular limitation. However, oxygen transport and utilization depends on an integrated organ response, to which the normal pulmonary system may influenc...
