Hormonal responses to the 6-minute walk test in women and men with coronary heart disease: A pilot study

Serum copeptin level can be a helpful biomarker in evaluation of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy results

“…In our study, exercise statistically elevated serum copeptin levels at peak exercise in all subjects irrespective of myocardial perfusion results. This finding was in concordant with the literature reporting increment of vasopressin in proportion to a 6-min walk test result among subjects with known CAD [20]. Mockel and Searle [21] also confirmed this finding.…”

Correlation of the New York Heart Association Classification and the 6‐Minute Walk Distance: A Systematic Review

“…Differences between patients with reduced and preserved EF may exist. In the included studies that reported data on preserved EF, these were not higher than those with reduced EF. Ingle et al reported similar 6MWD between both groups of patients .…”

Symptom Recognition in Elders With Heart Failure

“…Vital signs, pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), and oxygen saturation were assessed to assure that it was safe to proceed with the 6MWT. The 6MWT is widely used as an outcome measure in HF research (Galbreath et al, 2004; Masoudi et al, 2004) but it also has been used as a stimulus in studies of somatic awareness (Radke, King, Blair, Fitzpatrick, & Eldredge, 2005). The 6MWT, administered using a standard protocol, was used to increase respiratory effort sufficiently to stimulate shortness of breath.…”
