Ventilatory and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Responses Similarly Determine Anaerobic Threshold in Patients With Heart Failure

Conclusion: Both ventilatory and NIRS assessments are correlated and there are no differences in the responses between CHF patients and healthy subjects in the determination of AT. These findings indicate both approaches may have utility in the assessment of submaximal exercise performance in patients with CHF.
