Figure 1. Correlation between Respiratory Muscle Strength and the BNP Level, TV/RR Slope, or VE/VCO2 Slope.

Figure 1.

MEP, maximal expiratory pressure; MIP, maximal inspiratory pressure; BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; TV/RR slope, slope relating tidal volume to respiratory rate; VE/VCO2 slope, slope relating minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production.
