Brief Summary

Kemps HM, Schep G, Zonderland ML, Thijssen EJ, De Vries WR, Wessels B, Doevendans PA, Wijn PF. Are oxygen uptake kinetics in chronic heart failure limited by oxygen delivery or oxygen utilization? International journal of cardiology 142: 138-44, 2010.<br> Kemps HMC, Prompers JJ, Wessels B, de Vries WR, Zonderland ML, Thijssen EJM, Nicolay K, Schep G, Doevendans AFM. Skeletal muscle metabolic recovery following submaximal exercise in chronic heart failure is limited more by O2 delivery than O2 utilization. Clin.Sci.(Lond) 118: 203-210, 2010.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference (paired T-test when normally distributed) and agreement (intra-class correlation coefficients, limits of agreement and coefficients of variation) of the rate of muscle deoxygenation at exercise onset between two days (rate of decrease of muscle tissue saturation index expressed as MRT-TSI).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference (independent T-test when normally distributed) of VO2 kinetics (rate of increase in VO2 after onset of submaximal exercise expressed as ô-VO2) and NIRS kinetics (MRT-TSI) between healthy subjects and CHF patients during the first submaximal exercise test.
