Does the VE/VCO2 slope have prognostic value in patients with chronic heart failure?
The VE/VCO2 slope is a marker of increased ventilatory drive that has been shown to have prognostic value in chronic heart failure.
BackgroundIncreased ventilatory drive, reflected by the slope of increase of ventilation relative to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2 slope), has been shown to have a high prognostic value in pat...
