All ‐cause mortality predicted by peak oxygen uptake differs depending on spirometry pattern in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction

ConclusionsDemonstrating a restrictive pattern on spirometry yields the severest mortality risk associated with V ̇O2peak. Using spirometry to screen patients with HFrEF for ventilatory defects has a potential role in improving risk stratification based on V ̇O2peak.
