symptoms of NYHA class 3–4 heart failure, and low ejection fraction associated with mild left ventricular dilation, among other signs of heart dysfunction. Transmission electron micrographs of ...
The main outcome measures are cardiovascular death and the change from baseline in NYHA classification, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), peak oxygen (VO2), and six-minute walk test ...
Factors portending the greatest risk for cardiovascular death in control patients were inflammation (baseline plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein =2 mg/L; p=0.003) and ischemic HFrEF etiology ...
