Determinants of the Six-Minute Walk Distance in Subjects with Heart Failure-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap
Background Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently coexist in clinical practice, with both conditions negatively affecting individuals’ functional capacity, often measured using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Cardiovascular, pulmonary, and metabolic impairments may influence the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD). Objective This study aims to identify and analyze the critical determinants of the 6MWD among subjects with HF-COPD overlap. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. Individuals underwent the 6MWT. Respiratory muscle strength was assessed by measuring [...]
