Normal subjects (n = 15) | Patients with CHF (n = 13) | |
| Peak heart rate (beats/min) | 169 (15) | 146 (23)1-150 |
| Peak V˙o 2 (ml/min/kg) | 30.0 (6.7) | 19.2 (2.7)1-150 |
| AT (ml/min/kg) | 18.8 (3.9) | 12.8 (1.8)1-150 |
| Peak workload (W) | 185 (53) | 106 (15)1-150 |
Values are means (SD).
↵1-150 p < 0.01 v normal subjects.
AT, anaerobic threshold; CHF, chronic heart failure;V˙o 2, oxygen consumption.
