Prognostic importance of the reason for six‐minute walk test interruption in hospitalized older patients with heart failure
In hospitalized patients with HF, 6MWT interruption due to dyspnea or leg fatigue was independently associated with higher 2-year mortality, regardless of the 6MWD. These findings suggest that 6MWT interruption might be a valuable prognostic marker for HF management. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 1475-1480.
