Exercise oscillatory ventilation in patients with coexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure: Clinical implications

Exercise oscillatory ventilation (EOV) is considered an important variable for predicting poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, there are no studies evaluating EOV presence in the coexistence chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and HFrEF. Aims: I) To compare the clinical characteristics of participants with coexisting HFrEF-COPD with and without EOV during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET); and II) to identify the impact of EOV on mortality during follow-up for 35 months.
