Plasma volume changes with an acute bout of high-intensity exercise in men with chronic congestive heart failure secondary to coronary artery disease.
We assessed plasma volume changes at peak exercise in 17 nonedematous men with chronic congestive heart failure due to coronary artery disease. Our findings suggest that acute exercise is associated with transient decreases in plasma and blood volume in these patients, similar in magnitude to those reported for healthy adults at peak exercise.
