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
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
