Minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production in chronic heart failure

In chronic heart failure, minute ventilation (V′E) for a given carbon dioxide production (V′CO2) might be abnormally high during exercise due to increased dead space ventilation, lung stiffness, chemo- and metaboreflex sensitivity, early metabolic acidosis and abnormal pulmonary haemodynamics.
