  1. P, HF patients pre-CRP; RP, the same patients post-CRP. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. EF, Ejection Fraction; LVEDD, Left Ventricle End Diastolic Diameter; SBP, Systolic Blood Pressure; DBP, Diastolic Blood Pressure; HR, Heart Rate; bpm, beat/minutes. A P value <0.05 was considered significant
