It was found that these measurements, particularly the excess oxygen consumption during exercise, were greater than normal in patients with organic heart disease and a history of some limitation of activity, even when no congestive heart failure was present. It was concluded that this test yields a useful objective quantitation of the cardiac capacity.

The method previously described involved the use of an extension arm on the usual Roth-Benedict basal metabolism machine, and the calculation of results from multiple slopes recorded on a long paper record made by pasting three of the standard basal metabolism sheets end to end.
