The relationship between cardiac hemodynamics and exercise tolerance in cystic fibrosis
EH Van Iterson, CM Wheatley, SE Baker, WJ Morgan… - Heart & Lung, 2016 - Elsevier
Background Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) have reduced pulmonary function and
exercise tolerance. Additionally, these individuals may develop abnormal cardiac function.
The implications of abnormal cardiac function on exercise tolerance are unclear in CF.
Objective Study relationships between exercise cardiac hemodynamics and exercise
tolerance in CF. Methods 17 CF and 25 controls participated in cardiopulmonary exercise
testing to measure exercise duration and peak workload (PW). Cardiac index (QI) was …
