BACKGROUND The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is representative of daily life activities and reflects the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Information on the cardiopulmonary and gas exchange responses to the 6MWT is limited. OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the breath-by-breath cardiopulmonary and gas exchange responses of patients with COPD during the ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The physiological load imposed by the six minute walk test (SMWT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients come from small studies where the influence of disease severity has not been assessed. The aim of the present study was to compare the SMWT with an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in patients classified by disease severity accordin...
متن کاملThe Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT) for the Evaluation of Pulmonary Diseases
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a well-tolerated test which reflects daily activities and can be easily used in clinical practice. The 6MWT provides information about functional capacity, response to therapy and prognosis across a range of chronic cardiopulmonary conditions. Moreover, the 6MWT is sensitive to the common therapies used for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, such as pulmon...
