Cardiac reserve refers to the difference between the rates at which the heart pumps blood - at any given time versus its maximum capacity. A measurement of the cardiac reserve may be a health indicator for some medical conditions. Cardiac reserve may be 4-5 times greater than a resting value for a healthy person.
Cardiac reserve has been measured in different ways over the history of the test. [1]
It is possible to make a non-invasive measurement of cardiac reserve. [2]
A measure of cardiac reserve can help predict the likelihood of heart failure when indicated. [3]
