Determinants of ventilatory inefficiency in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: The role of excessive ventilatory drive
Background and objective: Along with impaired aerobic capacity, increased slope of the relationship between ventilation (VE) and pulmonary CO2 output (VCO2), i.e., VE-VCO2 slope is a common finding in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA), which suggests ventilatory inefficiency. Little is known ab...
