Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and prognosis in severe heart failure: 14 mL/kg/min revisited.
Am Heart J. 2000; (1 Pt 1): 78-84
Accurately establishing prognosis in severe heart failure has become increasingly important in assessing the efficacy of treatment modalities and in appropriately allocating scarce resources for transplantation. Peak exercise oxygen uptake appears to have an important role in risk stratification of patients with heart failure, but the optimal cutpoint value to separate survivors from nonsurvivors is not clear.
