Weight-adapted peak oxygen uptake improved after baroreflex activation therapy, pointing to an enhanced exercise capacity. Ventilatory efficiency and heart rate did not change, while oxygen pulse increased in patients with low oxygen pulse at baseline, indicating an improvement in circulatory efficiency, that is, a beneficial effect on stroke volume and peripheral oxygen extraction.
