Heart Rate Reserve and Pulmonary Disease

[MG5]

Does anyone know whether the heart rate reserve is lower or higher than normal in those with pulmonary diseases? I would think lower since their resting HR would most likely be higher and they would probably have a lower max heart rate?

I think 'pulmonary diseases' is too broad to answer that question. Someone with pulmonary hypertension will typically have a vastly different cardiac reserve compared to someone with say antigen induced asthma. Maybe frame the question of particular pulmonary diseases, with similar causes, you are interested in.

Should have been more specific. I was mainly talking about cardiopulmonary disease.

that's still fairly vague, are we talking about pulmonary hypertension? Left ventricle heart failure? transudate and exudate in the lungs??
