In clinically stable patients with chronic heart failure, ejection fraction and its changes were independently associated with outcome; on the contrary,serial cardiopulmonary exercise testing did not provide significant prognostic value. Baseline plus changes in ejection fraction showed better prognostic performance than baseline ejection fraction alone.

Abstract
In clinically stable patients with chronic heart failure, ejection fraction and its changes were independently associated with outcome; on the contrary,serial cardiopulmonary exercise testing did not provide significant prognostic value. Baseline plus changes in ejection fraction showed better prognostic performance than baseline ejection fraction alone.File in questo prodotto:
