Popis: The relation between VE-VCO2 slope and left ventricular function was examined in 38 patients (37 male and 1 female; mean age 55.1 ± 7.3 years) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Left ventricular function was measured with electrocardiogram gated single photon emission computed tomography in the acute phase (4.0 ± 2.4 days after onset) and the chronic phase (170.7 ± 57.4 days after onset). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) was performed 33.9 ± 13.5 days after the onset of AMI for expiration gas analysis. In the chronic phase, the VE-VCO2 slope showed significant correlation with the end-diastolic volume (r=0.52; p
