: The Weber classification based on peak VO is a well-established method for categorizing patients with heart failure (HF) regarding severity. However, other submaximal tests such as the Glittre ADL-Test have been gaining prominence in practice due to a coherent and more comprehensive correlation with limitations for performing activities of daily living in patients with heart failure.: To investigate the correlation between the time required to perform the Glittre ADL-Test and the peak VO in patients with HF.: A cross-sectional study conducted with 40 adult individuals (21 to 65 years) diagnosed with HF of all etiologies, with LVEF<50% and NYHA II and III.: The average time for performing the Glittre ADL-Test was 284.9 seconds, and a significant difference was found between Weber classification classes A and C ( = .01). Significant correlations with peak VO were also found (r = -0.424 - < .01). Thirty (30) patients performed a second test, and the ICC found in the reproducibility analysis was 0.75 (95% CI 0.14-0.91) and < .01.: The Glittre ADL-Test was able to reflect the functional performance of individuals with HF, suggesting that it represents an evaluation tool which can be safely used in clinical practice.
基于峰值 VO 的 Weber 分类是一种将心力衰竭（HF）患者按严重程度进行分类的成熟方法。然而，由于与心力衰竭患者日常生活活动受限的相关性更一致且更全面，其他亚最大测试，如 Glittre ADL-Test，在实践中越来越受到关注。
探讨 Glittre ADL-Test 所需时间与 HF 患者峰值 VO 之间的相关性。
一项横断面研究纳入了 40 名患有各种病因的 HF 患者（21-65 岁），LVEF<50%，NYHA II 和 III 级。
Glittre ADL-Test 的平均用时为 284.9 秒，Weber 分类 A 组和 C 组之间存在显著差异（= 0.01）。与峰值 VO 也存在显著相关性（r = -0.424- < 0.01）。30 名患者进行了第二次测试，可重复性分析的 ICC 为 0.75（95%CI 0.14-0.91），< 0.01。
Glittre ADL-Test 能够反映 HF 患者的功能表现，表明它是一种可在临床实践中安全使用的评估工具。
