| pubmed-article:12418420 | pubmed:abstractText | The stroke volume response to exercise is a critical determinant in meeting peripheral metabolic demands in patients with chronic hear failure. The Left atrium, by its position, is important in coupling right and left ventricles, to left preload reserve and to modulate sympathetic activity. We performed this study to investigate the relationship between exercise capacity and diastolic and systolic left atrium function in patients with chronic heart failure. | lld:pubmed |
