Use 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 کاملHeart rate responses during the 6-minute walk test in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) exhibit a limited increase in stroke volume on exercise, and the heart rate (HR) increases may reflect the main mechanism that allows cardiac output to increase. The current prospective study documented the contribution of HR to the 6-min walking distance (6MWD) in idiopathic (IPAH) and nonidiopathic PAH. Eighty-three patients (46 IPAH and 37 ...
متن کاملSix-minute walk test in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Exercise intolerance is the main characteristic of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) and cardiopulmonary exercise test are widely used in assessing exercise capacity of PAH patients. Six-minute walk distance (6MWD) has been specified as the main clinical outcome in PAH and has been used as the primary end-point in many studies conducted for new PAH treatment...
متن کاملThe 6-minute walk test as a primary endpoint in clinical trials for pulmonary hypertension.
Walking is a basic form of locomotion that involves the coordination of numerous muscles to provide forward movement while maintaining body balance and limiting energy expenditure (2). The distance and speed that a healthy individual can walk is governed by many factors, including age, sex, height (longer legs make longer strides), weight, and motivation (3). For these reasons, it is hard to kn...
متن کاملValue of preoperative 6-minute walk test for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the performance of preoperative 6-minute walk test (6MWT) for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) in high risk patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted in patients scheduled to undergo elective thoracic or nonthoracic surgery and indicated for preop...
