The anaerobic index: uses and limitations in the assessment of heart failure

L Tavazzi et al. Cardiology. 1989.

Abstract

Limitation of exercise tolerance is a hallmark of heart failure. Anaerobic threshold is a quantitative, reproducible, nonmotivational, submaximal index of exercise tolerance. The pathophysiological significance and methods of determination of anaerobic threshold are matters of debate. The principal aspects of such problems are discussed in this paper.
