Left ventricular volume as a predictor of exercise capacity and functional independence in individuals with normal ejection fraction

Written By Alex Clements

Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with functional disability, heart failure, and mortality. Left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) has been linked with CRF, but its utility as a diagnostic marker of low CRF has not been tested.
