Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how closely heart rate readings at the first ventilatory threshold (HR) match heart rate readings at the end of a 6-minute walk test (HR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who are taking β-blockers.
- The research involved 17 stable CAD patients who underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test and a 6-minute walk test on different days, with data analyzed using various statistical methods to assess the agreement between HR measurements.
- Results showed a good correlation (r=0.84) between the two heart rate readings, indicating that the HR can be effectively used to guide exercise intensity in cardiac rehabilitation for these patients.
