Can a 6-Minute step test replace a walk test for heart patients?

NCT ID NCT04699136

Summary

This study aimed to see if a simple 6-minute stepper test could be a good way to measure exercise tolerance in heart patients during rehabilitation. Researchers tested 60 patients with various heart conditions to see if the stepper test results matched up with standard tests like a 6-minute walk. The goal was to validate a new, space-saving tool for assessing patient fitness in cardiac rehab.
