Abstrakt:	BackgroundAmong the factors that contribute to limiting exercise tolerance in chronic heart failure are reduced peripheral blood flow and impaired vasodilatory capacity. Exercise training improves vasodilatory capacity in normal subjects, but controlled studies of exercise training evaluating upper and lower limb blood flow rates have not been performed in patients with reduced ventricular function. Improved vasodilatory capacity could help explain how training increases exercise capacity in these patients.
