The relationship between leg muscle strength and muscle oxygenation dynamics in patients with heart failure remains unclear, as no results were provided in the truncated abstract.
Observational
Background: Peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2) is a critical prognostic indicator in heart failure (HF) and is influenced by skeletal muscle oxygen utilization. Muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy, reflects peripheral oxygenation capacity. Although higher leg muscle strength has been linked to greater peak V̇O2, its relationship with muscle oxygenation dynamics remains unclear.
