Stable chronic heart failure due to myocardial infarction or dilating cardiomyopathy NYHA II-III
left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%
Factors that potentially influence the accuracy of the measurements:
- Lithium use
- Weight < 40 kg
- Atrial fibrillation / flutter
- Aortic aneurysm, aortic regurgitation
- Orthopaedic, pulmonary, neuromuscular or other conditions that influence the ability to exercise
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with FEV1/FVC < 60%
Factors that potentially increase the risk:
- Pregnancy
- Change of NYHA stage or medication in the last 2 months
- Myocardial infarction < 3 months before inclusion
- Unstable angina at rest with STT changes
- Severe aortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, myocarditis
- Hypertension at rest (systolic >200 mmHg , diastolic > 100 mmHg)
- Prosthetic valve
- Atrial or ventricular thrombus
- Thrombo-embolic events in the past
- Positive Allen*s test
