The response of derived parameters from six-minute walk distance (6MWD), like 6MW work (6MWW), to exercise training and its correlation with quality of life (QoL) in congestive heart failure (CHF) is not known. A secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial on 30 patients (23 males; mean age 57.7±10.4 years; mean ejection fraction 31±10%) with CHF in NYHA class I-IV who completed an eight-week home-based exercise training program found a significant improvement in 6MWW (p<0.05), with similar correlations between 6MWD and 6MWW with QoL. 6MWW does not appear to provide additional benefit to 6MWD in cardiac rehabilitation for CHF.
六分钟步行距离(6MWD)的衍生参数,如六分钟步行功(6MWW),对运动训练的反应及其与充血性心力衰竭(CHF)患者生活质量(QoL)的相关性尚不清楚。一项针对30例纽约心脏协会(NYHA)心功能I-IV级CHF患者(23例男性;平均年龄57.7±10.4岁;平均射血分数31±10%)的随机对照试验的二次分析发现,6MWW有显著改善(p<0.05),6MWD和6MWW与QoL之间的相关性相似。在CHF的心脏康复中,6MWW似乎并未为6MWD带来额外益处。
