Peak exercise oxygen uptake (VO2 ) and cardiac output (CO) are strong prognostic indexes in heart failure (HF) but unrelated to real-life physical activity, which is associated to submaximal effort.

We analysed maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test with rest, mid-exercise, and peak exercise non-invasive CO measurements (inert gas rebreathing) of 231 HF patients and 265 healthy volunteers.
