We retrospectively analyzed data from 313 patients (age 66 ± 11 years, 23% females, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 52 11%, Hb 10.5 1.3 g/dl, serum albumin 3.9 0.4 mg/dl) who were admitted our rehabilitation institute following surgery. A was performed at entry discharge expressed as %...
The assessment of chemoreflex sensitivity in heart failure patients is gaining increasing interest since recent studies demonstrated that augmented chemosensitivity an independent predictor mortality and represents important pathogenic factor the development Cheyne-Stokes respiration. single-breath CO2 test a well-established method to quantify peripheral hypercapnic sensitivity. As original criteria for computation healthy subjects need be modified take into account impaired cardiac...
