Abstract
The inspiratory HI and CI reflect the effect of pectus excavatum on cardiopulmonary function. The cardiopulmonary system reacts first with an increase in heart rate at anaerobic threshold, followed by a decrease in stroke volume at anaerobic threshold and maximum stroke volume. Increased severity of the deformity then leads to a decrease in cardiac output.
