Abnormal End-Tidal PO2 and PCO2 at the Anaerobic Threshold Correlate Well With Impaired Exercise Gas Exchange in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the end-tidal O2 pressure (PETO2) to end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2) in cardiac patients during rest and during 2 states of exercise: at anaerobic threshold (AT) and at peak. The purpose was to see which metabolic state, PETO2 or PETCO2, best c...

Zusammenfassung: | Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the end-tidal O2 pressure (PETO2) to end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2) in cardiac patients during rest and during 2 states of exercise: at anaerobic threshold (AT) and at peak. The purpose was to see which metabolic state, PETO2 or PETCO2, best correlated with exercise limitation. Methods and Results: Thirty-eight patients with left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction |
