Six-Minute Walk Test in Pediatric Cardiac Patients
Six-Minute Walk Test in Pediatric Cardiac Patients The 6MWT (6MWT) is a self-paced walking test generally used to assess the functional capacity in people with chronic conditions the main outcome is the distance that a person can walk in 6 minutes. The 6 MWT is originally developed to measure the submaximal level of functional capacity in adult patients with moderate to severe heart or lung diseases and has been extensively used in other patient populations. Because the test reflects an exercise level close to that of daily life activities, it is easy to administer, is well tolerated by patients, and is increasingly being used as a functional outcome measure for people with chronic conditions, including pediatric populations. Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular medicine welcomes all the Hypertension articles, heart transplantation case reports, Coronary angioplasty risk and many more.
