Could peak oxygen uptake be estimated from proposed equations based on the six-minute walk test in chronic heart failure subjects?


ABSTRACT: To evaluate the agreement between the measured peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and the VO2peak estimated by four prediction equations based on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in chronic heart failure patients.Thirty-six chronic heart failure patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing and the 6MWT to assess their VO2peak. Four previously published equations that include the variable six-minute walk distance were used to estimate the VO2peak: Cahalin, 1996a (1); Cahalin, 1996b (2); Ross, 2010 (3); and Adedoyin, 2010 (4). The agreement between the VO2peak in the cardiopulmonary exercise testing and the estimated values was assessed using the Bland-Altman method. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.All estimated VO2peak values presented moderate correlation (ranging from 0.55 to 0.70; p<0.001) with measured VO2peak values. Equations 2, 3, and 4 underestimated the VO2peak by 30%, 15.2%, and 51.2%, respectively, showing significant differences from the actual VO2peak measured in the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (p<0.0001 for all), and the limits of agreement were elevated. The VO2peak estimated by equation 1 was similar to that measured by the cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and despite the agreement, bias increased as VO2peak increased.Only equation 1 showed estimated VO2peak similar to the measured VO2peak; however, a large limits of agreement range (∼3 METs) does not allow its use to estimate maximal VO2peak.
