Effects of Drugs on Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

  • 246 Accesses

Abstract

A consequence of most cardiovascular diseases is exercise limitation. The main causes of exercise intolerance are angina pectoris due to myocardial ischemia, dyspnea in congestive heart failure due to loss of muscle mass, and muscular dysfunction or valvular disease. Besides the heart, peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a major cause for exercise intolerance. Possibilities for drug therapy are limited in this disease.
