Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.

About this study
The purpose of this study is two-fold. The first purpose is to understand how feedback from your muscles can change ventilation at rest and during exercise in low and high oxygen conditions. The second purpose is to understand how feedback from your muscles can influence muscle fatigue and muscle function in normal and low oxygen conditions. The ventilatory response to exercise and skeletal muscle fatigability in healthy controls and HF patients will advance our understanding of tolerance to exercise in HF patients.
