  1. VA = alveolar volume (as % predicted). CI = confidence interval.
  2. Model 1: unadjusted.
  3. Model 2: adjusted for age, NYHA class III-IV, NT-proBNP, cardiothoracic ratio >0.5, persistent atrial fibrillation, DLCO as % predicted, COPD comorbidity, use of beta-blockers and of ACE-inhibitors.
