Can Biomarkers Provide Right Ventricular-Specific Prognostication in the Perioperative Setting?

abstract：BACKGROUND:A wide variety of instruments have been used to assess the functional capabilities and health status of patients with chronic heart failure (HF), but it is not known how well these tests are correlated with one another, nor which one has the best association with measured exercise capacity. METHODS AND RESU...
