The prognostic value of serial six-minute walk testing for mortality prediction in heart failure patients
Serial 6MWT assessment offers prognostic value beyond a baseline measurement. Both absolute walking distance and improvement over time were independently associated with mortality. Modelling functional trajectories over time may improve mortality risk prediction and support personalized clinical management in heart failure.
