Peak VO(2) and VE/VCO(2) slope were worse for PAH patients than for CHF patients despite the similar subjective symptoms. This difference might be explained by an altered hemodynamic status.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
