Abstract
In patients with CHF, resting lung function, including spirometry, lung diffusion capacity, and PETCO2, can provide clinically useful information on exercise capacity, by predicting peak VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope. The results of this study highlight the role of resting lung function in the assessment of the functional status of cardiac patients.
