Dynamics of cardiorespiratory response during and after the six-minute walk test in patients with 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 Correlation Between the Six Minute Walk Test and Spirometric Parameters in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease affect nearly every organ system. Pulmonary involvement, which is a common manifestation of SLE, can remain undiagnosed if asymptomatic. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of spirometric findings in early detection of silent pulmonary involvement and examine its correlation with the six minute walk test in SLE pa...
