Transthoracic Echocardiography and 6-Minute Walk Test in Kuwaiti Sickle Cell Disease Patients
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate cardiac abnormalities in Kuwaiti sickle cell disease (SCD) patients using markers such as tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRJV), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), and the 6-minute walk (6MW) test and correlate these findings with clinical, hematological, and biochemical parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-three patients wit...
متن کاملLung function and six-minute walk test performance in individuals with sickle cell disease
BACKGROUND Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), which is characterized by a mutation in the gene encoding beta hemoglobin, causes bodily dysfunctions such as impaired pulmonary function and reduced functional capacity. OBJECTIVE To assess changes in pulmonary function and functional capacity in patients with SCD and to identify the relationships between these variables. METHOD We evaluated sociodemog...
متن کاملDevelop of native aerobic power prediction equation by the 6-minute walk test in healthy child
Aerobic power (VO2max) is an important indicator of the health and physical fitness. Executive problems in direct VO2max measurement has led to developing sub-maximal aerobic power prediction equations. The purpose of present study was to develop native aerobic power prediction equation based on 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and body composition indices in children. In 192 healthy children (8 to 12...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory responses to 6-minute walk test in interstitial lung disease: not always a submaximal test
BACKGROUND The 6-minute walk test (6 MWT) is used to measure exercise capacity and assess prognosis in interstitial lung disease (ILD). Although the 6 MWT is usually considered to be a test of submaximal exercise capacity in ILD, the physiological load imposed by this test is not well described and 6 MWT outcomes are poorly understood. This study aimed to compare cardiorespiratory responses to ...
متن کاملEvaluation of functional capacity for exercise in children and adolescents with sickle-cell disease through the six-minute walk test.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate lung functional capacity (FC) for physical exercise in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) through the six-minute walk test (6MWT). METHOD A cross-sectional prospective study was performed to evaluate the FC of 46 patients with SCD through the 6MWT. The following parameters were assessed: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), peripheral pulse oxygen...
