Abstract

The effect of venous obstruction on effort tolerance is not well appreciated. We studied a patient with severe lower body venous obstruction (with near normal heart and lung function) who had marked exercise intolerance. Peak O₂ uptake for leg exercise was reduced, but peak O₂ uptake for upper extremities was normal. This difference indicates that severe venous obstruction can lead to exercise limitation.
