Just read the post about cardiac rehab and everones experiences. EF is an important number in being able to exercise, but VO2max (the result of your exercise stresstest) is even more important to know what you can expect exercise wise. So I just wondered if you know what your VO2 max was.
I don't know my VO2 max before cardiac rehab, but after it was 20.5 and my doctor was really happy with that (this was 3 months after DX, my EF was 36% then).

Hi Yvonne,

I have my stress test May 24th and will post my VO2 result. I heard this was also very important. Thanks, Alison
