Abstract
We sought to assess whether skeletal muscle mass might be a predictor of peak oxygen
consumption (Vo2) and relation of the ventilation to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCo2)
slope in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) independent of clinical conditions,
neurohormonal activation and resting hemodynamics.
