Estimation of cardiac reserve by peak power: validation and initial application of a simplified index

摘要

To validate a simplified esti- mate of peak power (SPP) against true (invasively measured) peak instantaneous power (TPP), to assess the feasibility of measuring SPP during exercise and to correlate this with functional capacity. Development of a simplified Method of measurement and observa- Tional study. Setting-Tor validation of SPP with TPP, Seven normal dogs and four dogs with Dilated cardiomyopathy were studied.
