Incremental predictive value of CR after repetitive squatting exercise and FC from cardiopulmonary testing exercise results over clinical (red) and echocardiographic (green) information by likelihood ratio analysis expressed as χ 2 values (y-axis) for prediction of adverse clinical events. Basal clinical model (first red column) consisted of age, NT-proBNP levels and NYHA functional class, while basal echocardiographic model (first green column) consisted of age, E/E' ratio and LV EF obtained at rest. CR, contractile reserve; E/E', ratio of pulsed-wave Doppler-derived early diastolic transmitral flow and tissue Doppler-derived early diastolic velocity obtained from the lateral mitral annulus; EF, ejection fraction; FC, functional capacity; LV, left ventricular; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; NYHA, New York Heart Association.
