Abstract:AimsFunctional capacity provides important clinical information in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The 6‐min walk test (6MWT) is a simple and inexpensive tool for assessing functional capacity and risk.

We aimed to assess the prognostic importance of changes in 6MWT.Methods and resultsPatients with chronic HFrEF referred to HF outpatient clinics in N… Show more
