Abstract
Elderly patients with congestive heart failure, including those with preserved systolic function, underwent maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Maximal exercise oxygen consumption, exercise time, heart rate, respiratory exchange ratio, and ventilatory anaerobic threshold showed good reproducibility.
