Value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and big endothelin plasma levels to predict short-term prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure

Objectives. We tested the hypothesis that, in patients with stable heart failure, measuring big endothelin-1 (ET-1) plasma level at rest predicts short-term prognosis better than peak oxygen consumption (Vo2max) at exercise. Background. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and evaluation of neurohumoral...
