The 6-min walk test in patients with COPD: walk this way!
As the co-chairs of the joint American Thoracic Society/European Thoracic Society (ATS/ERS) task force on field exercise testing we noted with interest the work by Beekman et al, who describe reference values for a 6-min walk test (6MWT) performed around a 10 m course. These authors have previously shown that walk distances on this track provoke a significantly shorter distance than on the cour...
متن کاملFeasibility of Serial 6-min Walk Tests in Patients with Acute Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Functional status assessment is common in many cardiovascular diseases but it has undergone limited study in the setting of acute heart failure (AHF). Accordingly, we performed a pilot study of the feasibility of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) at the emergency department (ED) presentation and through the hospitalization in patients with AHF. METHODS AND RESULTS From November 2014 ...
متن کاملSerious adverse events during a 6-min walk test in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is well standardised and, as per current guidelines, is deemed safe to perform in a range of patients [1]. In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), 6-min walk distance (6MWD) is an important predictor of mortality and morbidity [2]. Moreover, changes in the 6MWD have been the primary end-point of most pivotal randomised controlled trials that have assessed the clinic...
متن کاملReproducibility for Heart Rate Variability Analysis during 6-Min Walk Test in Patients with Heart Failure and Agreement between Devices
Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a useful method to assess abnormal functioning in the autonomic nervous system and to predict cardiac events in patients with heart failure (HF). HRV measurements with heart rate monitors have been validated with an electrocardiograph in healthy subjects but not in patients with HF. We explored the reproducibility of HRV in two consecutive six-minute wal...
