Abstract
We evaluated the effect of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurot omy (PTMC) on ventilatory variables and dyspnea during recovery from a 6-minute submaximal constant workload exercise, and showed that the d ecrease in postexercise ventilation after PTMC was closely related to improvement in postexercise dyspnea after PTMC. Ventilation during rec overy from submaximal constant workload exercise is related to postexe rcise breathlessness and can be used to assess the effectiveness of th erapeutic interventions.
