VE/VCO2 slope and functional capacity in patients post heart transplantation

The ventilatory efficiency representatives cardiovascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal performance into an integrate index has been used as long-term and short-term prognostic variables in congestive heart failure (CHF). The heart failure status once corrected by heart transplantation (HTX), whether ventilatory efficiency was also normalized still unknown.
