Abstract
The differences in oxygen utilization at peak exercise may be attributed to differences in energy metabolism, namely higher oxygen extraction in HTRs, compensating for the dramatically reduced oxygen delivery. It is further suggested that CAD patients and HTRs respond to a greater extent to maximal aerobic testing by reducing their left ventricular systolic function despite increased after-load.
