abstract:Exercise intolerance is a condition where the patient is unable to do physical exercise at the level or for the duration that would be expected of someone in his or her general physical condition, or experiences unusually severe post-exercise pain, fatigue, or other negative effects. Exercise intolerance is not a disease or syndrome in and of itself, but a symptom.
Dr. GERBER: You're probably going to want to make that investment in a patient that truly has something to gain, and those would be the patients who already have signs or symptoms of heart (unintelligible) disease: Such as chest pain, or shortness of breath or exerciseintolerance.
