Regulation of the microvasculature during small muscle mass exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease vs. chronic heart failure
Aim: Skeletal muscle convective and diffusive oxygen (O2) transport are peripheral determinants of exercise capacity in both patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic heart failure (CHF). We hypothesised that differences in these peripheral determinants of performance be...
