The influence of body position on exercise tolerance, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and breathing frequency was studied during bicycle exercise in 37 male patients with coronary in- sufficiency. With identical work loads before the onset of angina pectoris, the heart rate was significantly higher in the supine position. Exercise tolerance was lower in the supine position, and angina pectoris developed at a significantly lower heart rate and systolic blood pressure.
