Relation of respiratory muscle strength, cachexia and survival in severe chronic heart failure

BACKGROUND: Respiratory muscle (RM) function predicts prognosis in non-cachectic patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We hypothesized that weakness of RM (maximum inspiratory mouth occlusion pressure, Pi(max)) is a function of body mass index, and that outcome is more a function of BMI than of...
