Echocardiography, 6-minute walk distance, and distance-saturation product as predictors of pulmonary arterial hypertension in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is frequently seen in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We sought to examine the performance of echocardiography, 6-min walk test (6MWT) distance, distance-saturation product (DSP), and pulse oximetry (SpO2) in detecting underlying PAH in IPF. METHODS 626 lung transplanted patients from February 1990 to December 2007 were consi...
متن کاملUse of 6-minute walk test in pulmonary hypertension management.
The 6-minute walk test (T6) is used to assess cardiopulmonary diseases due to its prognosis capacity, easy performance and reproducibility. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined and classified as a hemodynamic consequence leading to increased pulmonary arterial pressure and may result in right ventricular failure and consequent death. This case reports the prescription of T6 by the cardiology ...
متن کاملThe need to move from 6-minute walk distance to outcome trials in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Assessment of change in exercise capacity using the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) test has been the primary end-point in the majority of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) clinical trials. The 6MWD has some advantages as an end-point in such studies. It is simple and inexpensive to perform, reproducible and validated. In short-term studies with small patient numbers, as is typical in a rare dis...
متن کاملValidation of 6-minute walk distance as a surrogate end point in pulmonary arterial hypertension trials.
BACKGROUND Nearly all available treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension have been approved based on change in 6-minute walk distance (Δ6MWD) as a clinically important end point, but its validity as a surrogate end point has never been shown. We aimed to validate the difference in Δ6MWD against the probability of a clinical event in pulmonary arterial hypertension trials. METHODS AND RE...
متن کامل6-Minute Walk Distance
We commend Mullen et al 1 for their recent article in CHEST (February 2014) on quality of life and parental adjustment in pediatric pulmonary hypertension. It is indeed a very valuable research question that the authors have made an attempt to answer. However, we would like to point out a number of methodologic concerns that we fear might limit the validity of the study results. The small sampl...
