Simultaneous right- and left-sided cardiac high-fidelity hemodynamic measurments were obtained at rest and supine exercise during cardiac catheterization in 27 patients (mean age 32 ± 10 years) with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy to investigate the hemodynamic exercise response and possible mecha...
