0432: Six minute walk test: predictor of hospital readmission in patients with chronic heart failure

Assessment of oxygen uptake during the six-minute walk test in patients with heart failure.

Reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the six-minute walk test in patients with heart failure.

BACKGROUND Our purpose was to evaluate the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with heart failure (HF) enrolled in the Randomized Evaluation of Strategies for Left Ventricular Dysfunction (RESOLVD) pilot study. METHODS A total of 768 patients was enrolled in a multicenter randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of candesartan, enalapr...

Heart Rate Recovery in the First Minute at the Six-Minute Walk Test in Patients with Heart Failure

BACKGROUND Heart rate recovery at one minute of rest (HRR1) is a predictor of mortality in heart failure (HF), but its prognosis has not been assessed at six-minute walk test (6MWT) in these patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the HRR1 at 6MWT in patients with HF and its correlation with six-minute walk distance (6MWD). METHODS Cross-sectional, controlled protocol with 161 ind...

The six-minute walk test.

The American Thoracic Society has issued guidelines for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The 6MWT is safer, easier to administer, better tolerated, and better reflects activities of daily living than other walk tests (such as the shuttle walk test). The primary measurement is 6-min walk distance (6MWD), but during the 6MWT data can also be collected about the patient's blood oxygen saturation and...
