MG5 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Does anyone know whether the heart rate reserve is lower or higher than normal in those with pulmonary diseases? I would think lower since their resting HR would most likely be higher and they would probably have a lower max heart rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think 'pulmonary diseases' is too broad to answer that question. Someone with pulmonary hypertension will typically have a vastly different cardiac reserve compared to someone with say antigen induced asthma. Maybe frame the question of particular pulmonary diseases, with similar causes, you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physica Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 that's still fairly vague, are we talking about pulmonary hypertension? Left ventricle heart failure? transudate and exudate in the lungs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
