Heart rate response during 6-minute walking testing predicts outcome in operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

BACKGROUND: Six-minute walk test (6MWT) is routinely performed in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) before pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, the clinical relevance of heart rate response (ΔHR) and exercise-induced oxygen desaturation (EID) during 6MWT is remaining unknown....
