First published August 3, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00001.2011.-Exertional dyspnea limits exercise in some mitochondrial myopathy (MM) patients, but the clinical features of this syndrome are poorly defined, and its underlying mechanism is unknown. We evaluated ventilation and arterial blood gases during cycle exercise and recovery in five MM patients with exertional dyspnea and genetically defined mitochondrial defects, and in four control subjects (C). Patient ventilation was normal at rest. During exercise, MM patients had low (V) over dot (O2peak) (28 +/- 9% of predicted) and exaggerated systemic O-2 delivery relative to O-2 utilization (i.e., a hyperkinetic circulation). High perceived breathing effort in patients was associated with exaggerated ventilation relative to metabolic rate with high (V)over dot (E)/(V) over dot O-2peak,O- (MM = 104 +/- 18; C = 42 +/- 8, P
