The association between simple tests of functional capacity on exercise confidence are not known. Objectives To evaluate the association between a single 6-min walk test (6MWT) and exercise confidence in HF patients. Methods Observational study enrolling HF outpatients who completed the Cardiac Depression Scale and an Exercise Confidence Survey at baseline and following the 6MWT. Paired t-test was used to compare repeated-measures data, while Repeated Measures Analysis of Covariance was used for multivariate analysis. Results 106 HF patients were enrolled in the study (males, 82%; mean age, 64 +/- 12 years). Baseline Exercise Confidence was inversely associated with age (p < 0.01), NYHA class (p < 0.001), and depression (p < 0.001). The 6MWT was associated with an improvement in Exercise Confidence (F(1,92) = 5.0, p = 0.03) after adjustment for age, gender, HF duration, NYHA class and depression. Conclusions The 6MWT is associated with improved exercise confidence in HF patients.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.hrtlng.2017.09.006 | Link to associated publication: | Click here for full text options | PubMed URL: | 29066116 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=29066116] | ISSN: | 0147-9563 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/38587 | Type: | Article | Subjects: | male New York Heart Association class observational study priority journal resistance training *six minute walk test social desirability social psychology walking aldosterone antagonist/dt [Drug Therapy] angiotensin receptor antagonist/dt [Drug Therapy] antidepressant agent beta adrenergic receptor blocking agent/dt [Drug Therapy] dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase inhibitor/dt [Drug Therapy] implantable cardioverter defibrillator pacemaker prospective study adult aerobic exercise article biomechanics climbing cost effectiveness analysis depression disease association disease duration estimated glomerular filtration rate *exercise female *heart failure/dt [Drug Therapy] heart failure/dt [Drug Therapy] heart left ventricle ejection fraction human major clinical study heart failure / drug therapy climbing human major clinical study male New York Heart Association class observational study priority journal prospective study resistance training *six minute walk test social desirability social psychology walking biomechanics Article aerobic exercise adult heart left ventricle ejection fraction cost effectiveness analysis depression disease association disease duration estimated glomerular filtration rate *exercise female *heart failure / *drug therapy |
