Effect of inadequate cardiac output reserve on exercise tolerance in patients with moderate mitral stenosis.
Published
Journal Article

Exercise tolerance in the mitral stenosis group was found to be limited by inadequate cardiac output reserve and not by resting mitral valve area or exercise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
