The association of six-minute walk work and other clinical measures to cardiopulmonary exercise test parameters in pulmonary vascular disease.


ABSTRACT: Introduction:In pulmonary vascular disease exercise, abnormalities can include reduced exercise capacity, reduced oxygen pulse and elevated VE/VCO2. The association of clinical measures such as six-minute walk work, haemodynamics, lung function and echocardiogram to peak VO2, O2 pulse and VE/VCO2 has not been fully investigated in pulmonary vascular disease. Aims:To determine the relationship of six-minute walk work and other clinical measures to peak VO2, peak O2 pulse and VE/VCO2. Additionally, to investigate the ability to predict peak VO2 from six-minute walk work and other clinical parameters. Methods:Clinical data was retrospectively analysed from 63 chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and 54 chronic thromboembolic disease (CTED) patients. Six-minute walk test measures, haemodynamics, lung function and echocardiographic measures were correlated with peak VO2, peak O2 pulse and VE/VCO2. Predictive equations were developed to predict peak V̇O2 in both CTEPH and CTED cohorts and subsequently validated. Results:A number of clinical parameters correlated to peak VO2, peak O2 pulse and VE/VCO2. Six-minute walk work and transfer factor for carbon monoxide demonstrated the strongest correlation to peak VO2 and peak O2 pulse. The validation of the predictive equations showed a variable level of agreement between measured peak VO2 and calculated peak VO2 from the predictive equations. Conclusion:Six-minute walk work and additionally a number of clinical test parameters were associated to peak VO2, peak O2 pulse and VE/VCO2. Six-minute walk work and transfer factor for carbon monoxide were particularly highly correlated to peak VO2 and similarly to peak oxygen pulse. The validation of the predictive equations showed a variable level of agreement and therefore may have limited clinical applicability.
