Abstract
Measurement of indirect indices of MVO2 expands the scope of information obtained when exercise tests are performed by angina patients. Inferences drawn from these data, however, must be carefully circumscribed because the predictive value of these indices has not been fully validated in angina patients, the indices do not incorporate potentially important changes related to myocardial contractility and ventricular dimensions and changes in one or more of the circulatory parameters (e.g. heart rate or blood pressure) included in the indirect indices may alter delivery of myocardial blood flow as well as MVO2.
