Assessment of exercise capacity in African patients with chronic heart failure using six minutes walk test
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the functional capacity during a 6-minute corridor walk and a 6-minute bicycle ergometry exercise in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHOD Thirty five patients with stable CHF were recruited for the study. Each subject performed six minutes corridor walk and 6-minute bicycle ergometry testing. The 6-minute walk required the subjec...
متن کاملCould peak oxygen uptake be estimated from proposed equations based on the six-minute walk test in chronic heart failure subjects?
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the agreement between the measured peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and the VO2peak estimated by four prediction equations based on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in chronic heart failure patients. METHOD Thirty-six chronic heart failure patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing and the 6MWT to assess their VO2peak. Four previously published equations that includ...

متن کاملClinical correlates and prognostic significance of six-minute walk test in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension. Comparison with cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
The six-minute walk test is a submaximal exercise test that can be performed even by a patient with heart failure not tolerating maximal exercise testing. To elucidate the clinical significance and prognostic value of the six-minute walk test in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), we sought (1) to assess the relation between distance walked during the six-minute walk test and ex...
