Left ventricular dysfunction, exercise capacity and activity recommendations.

abstract：:In the initial phase of heart failure, cardiac output and pressure are maintained by increasing sympathetic drive and by cell hypertrophy. Elevated end-diastolic volume, a reduced ejection fraction and a higher filling pressure also occur. Only in more severe heart failure, when cardiac output cannot be maintained, do...
