Predictive Value of Heart Rate Recovery after Exercise Testing in Addition to Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Ambulatory Patients with Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Background: Heart rate recovery (HRR) is related to autonomic function and is a prognostic marker in cardiovascular disease. We sought to investigate the clinical utility of HRR in addition to BNP levels in ambulatory outpatients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM).
