Ischemic Time as a Predictor of Physical Recovery in the First Months after Heart Transplantation

Figure 3

ROC curve for ischemic time values and development of exercise capacity >4.5 METs (metabolic equivalents) two months after heart transplant. The cut-off value considered optimal for classifying the patients was 177.5 min. With this value, we achieved a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 58%. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0 . 7 3 ± 0 . 0 7 .
