Maximal oxygen intake and renal plasma flow at rest and in work were measured in normal subjects and patients with aortic valve insufficiency; the tests measure some aspects of cardiovascular function. The lower maximal oxygen intake and renal plasma flow at rest and in work in these cardiac patients indicate a decreased cardiovascular performance capacity even though the patients were asymptomatic and their daily physical activity was not restricted.
