Brain natriuretic peptide, left ventricular function and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Abstract: 27ergo spirometery with systolic and diastolic function evaluated from echocardiography. Diastolic function was also evaluated by pulmonary artery catheterisation.Results: There was a strong correlation between %PPVO2 and achieved peak VO2 (r = 0.804, p = <0.0001). Forty-six patients did not reach 50% of predicted peak VO2 and 27 patients had >50% of predicted peak VO2. The deceleration time of the E-wave (DT) (p = 0.0016), and heart rate adjusted DT (DT/*RR) (p = 0.0006) were shorter and LVEF (p = 0.0209) was… Show more
