Influence of exertional oscillatory breathing and its temporal behavior in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
Int J Cardiol
Exertional oscillatory breathing (EOV) represents an emerging prognostic marker in heart failure (HF) patients, however little is known about EOV meaning with respect to its disappearance/persistence during cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). The present single-center study evaluated EOV clinical and prognostic impact in a large cohort of reduced ejection fraction HF patients (HFrEF) and, contextually, if a specific EOV temporal behavior might be an addictive risk predictor.
