Abstract Background: Six-minute step test (6MST) is a simple way to evaluate functional capacity, although it has not been well studied in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart failure (HF). Objective: Analyze the association between the 6MST and peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and develop an equation for estimating VO2peak based on the 6MST, as well as to determine a cutoff point for the 6MST that predicts a VO2peak ≥20 mL.Kg-1.min-1 Methods: In 171 patients who underwent the 6MST […]
