Abstract
The effects of cardioselective beta blockade on ventilation and gas ex change were investigated in 12 male subjects with coronary artery dise ase during ramp treadmill testing. Patients were able to maintain much of their functional capacity as measured by oxygen consumption in the beta-blocked condition, and also maintained minute ventilation by inc reasing respiratory rate despite a decrease in tidal volume.
