Exercise training in patients with chronic heart failure delays ventilatory anaerobic threshold and improves submaximal exercise performance.

abstract：:The reduced responsiveness of the renin-angiotensin system to hemodynamic changes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) could be due to a defect of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. To test this hypothesis, the responses to viprostol, an analog of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) that is known to stimulate both the macu...
