Cardiac output and arteriovenous oxygen difference contribute to lower peak oxygen uptake in patients with fibromyalgia

Abstract Background Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit low peak oxygen uptake ( $$\dot{\text{V}}$$ V ˙ O2peak). We aimed to detect the contribution of cardiac output to ( $$\dot{\text{Q}}$$ Q ˙ ) and arteriovenous oxygen difference  $$[\text{C}(\text{a-v})\text{O}_{2}]$$ [ C ( a-v ) O 2 ]  to ...
