Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Peak oxygen consumption at maximum exercise (peak VO(2)) predicts survival in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) at rest has been reported to correlate with peak VO(2). We evaluated the strength and consistency of the association between peak VO(2) and RVEF measured by different radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) techniques in a prospective cohort study. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 58 consecutive CHF patients (mean age, 53 years; 39 patient...     »
