Exercise Oscillatory Ventilation: Interreviewer Agreement and a Novel Determination.

Introduction: Determination of exercise oscillatory ventilation (EOV) is subjective, and the interreviewer agreement has not been reported. The purposes of this study were, among patients with heart failure (HF), as follows: 1) to determine the interreviewer agreement for EOV and 2) to describe a novel, objective, and quantifiable measure of EOV.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the HEART Camp: Promoting Adherence to Exercise in Patients with Heart Failure study.
