Abstract
An attempt is made to relate the level of exercise at which disability occurs in cardiac patients with known oxygen consumption figures for various tasks. The limit to the maximum level of exercise in some patients with rheumatic heart disease is set by circulatory parameters, as in normal subjects, in others it is set by the excessive ventilatory cost of exercise.Keywords
