Excess ventilation and chemosensitivity in patients with inefficient ventilation and chronic coronary syndrome or heart failure: a case–control study by Prisca Eser, Dominic Käesermann, Pietro Calamai, Anja Kalberer, Laura Stütz, Sarina Huber, James Duffin, Matthias Wilhelm

“…BackgroundIn patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), increased ventilation/carbon dioxide production (V̇E/V̇CO2) slope has been found to predict disease progression and mortality, similarly to patients with heart failure (HF); however, increased chemosensitivity, a well-established predictor for mortality in patients with HF, has rarely been assessed in patients with CCS.MethodPatients with CCS, HF with reduced ejection fraction (EF < 50%), healthy controls (45+ years), and young healthy adults (<35 years) were recruited. …”
