Avaliação da segurança do teste de caminhada dos 6 minutos em pacientes no pré-transplante cardíaco

Abstract: SummaryBackground: The 6-minute walk test (6WT) has been used as a means of assessment of the functional capacity, clinical staging and cardiovascular prognosis. Its safety and metabolic impact have not been frequently described in the literature, especially in patients with severe heart failure with clinical indication for cardiovascular transplantation.

“…Another factor of great importance is that the six-minute walk test, when performed in patients with preoperative heart transplant, has proven to be a safe method and its performance may be associated with mortality in these patients evaluated [29]. In performing the walking test preoperatively we did not quantify normality in relation to age, gender and body mass index of the patient, but we observed significant increase in distance traveled in the postoperative of 11.2% compared to preoperative, which predicts the functional improvement that can be attributed to improvement in cardiac pump.…”
