cardiorespiratory fitness
Five (0.5%) neonates with severe tricuspid regurgitation had heart murmurs, and two (0.2%) of them presented with cardiorespiratory distress.
Pregnancy places considerable strain on the heart and circulation, requiring marked cardiorespiratory adaptation.
Pregnancy places considerable strain on the heart and circulation and necessitates marked cardiorespiratory adaptation.
This has important consequences for the cardiorespiratory response to exercise.
Cardiorespiratory responses to different levels of exercise, and the mechanisms of cardiorespiratory adaptation during long-term follow-up, are not well understood.
The followup should, therefore, be longer before reliable conclusions can be drawn on preservation of cardiorespiratory function.
Despite its potential for early detection of changes in cardiorespiratory function, serial exercise testing is seldom used in children with congenital heart malformations.
In neonates with cardiorespiratory distress, mitral regurgitation may also be a result of myocardial damage due to perinatal anoxemia.
