Six-minute walk test enhanced by mobile telemetric cardiopulmonary monitoring.
BACKGROUND The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is frequently used to assess overall cardiopulmonary fitness and to predict outcome, but it yields little diagnostic information. Portable telemetric devices allow performing the 6MWT with real-time cardiopulmonary monitoring. OBJECTIVES The study was designed to analyze feasibility, safety and clinical usefulness of a mobile cardiopulmonary monitoring (M...
متن کاملSix minute walking test: an old tool with new applications
In 1976 McGavin and colleagues invented a simple, easy to apply and reproducible test assessing exercise capacity in patients with chronic bronchitis [1]. McGavin, at that time registrar at the City Hospital in Edinburgh, probably did not expect such a promising future for his timed walk test. The test not only stood well the advent of sophisticated cardiopulmonary exercise testing but also has...
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...
متن کاملMetabolic and clinical comparative analysis of treadmill six-minute walking test and cardiopulmonary exercise testing in obese and eutrophic women.
BACKGROUND Impaired exercise tolerance is directly linked to decreased functional capacity as a consequence of obesity. OBJECTIVES To analyze and compare the cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and perceptual responses during a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) and a treadmill six-minute walking test (tread6MWT) in obese and eutrophic women. METHOD Twenty-nine female participants, aged 20-45 year...
متن کاملHeart failure: comparison between six-minute walk test and cardiopulmonary test.
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (HF) is a syndrome characterized by reduced cardiac output in relation to the metabolic needs of the organism, as well as metabolic and neurohormonal axis abnormalities. Symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnoea are notorious and stress tests are widely used to assess functional capacity, prognosis and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in this syndrome. O...
