We evaluated objectively the cardiocirculatory dysfunction of patients with EMF, and related the functional class (FC-NYHA) to the data obtained by analysis of maximal functional capacity. We studied 55 subjects, divided into three groups: group 1 (G1) 21 (38.1%) normal persons, group 2 (G2) seven (12.7%) patients with EMF who were in FC I or II, and group 3 (G3) 27 (49%) patients in FC III or IV. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and O2 pulse index (PO2max) were obtained using a Beckman computerized gas analyser. The mean values were significantly different among the three groups. We conclude that the greater the clinical impairment, the greater the alterations that occur in the indices of cardiac function.

D004719 Endomyocardial Fibrosis A condition characterized by the thickening of the ventricular ENDOCARDIUM and subendocardium (MYOCARDIUM), seen mostly in children and young adults in the TROPICAL CLIMATE. The fibrous tissue extends from the apex toward and often involves the HEART VALVES causing restrictive blood flow into the respective ventricles (CARDIOMYOPATHY, RESTRICTIVE).

D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.

D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest.
