Correlation of Short Form-36, Energy Expenditure and Six-Minute Walk Test in Post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Patients.

CONCLUSION: The physical domain ofSF-36 that comprised physicalfunction, role-physical, bodily pain and general health correlated with physical capacity ofthese post-operation groups (r = 0.49, p<0.001). Therefore, clinicians can use the SF-36 and 6MWTto evaluate functional capacity in addition to ESTand indirect calorimetry conveniently. PMID: 26387411 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
