The six-minute walk test predicts cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

CONCLUSIONS: The 6MWT is an easy-to-administer submaximal exercise test that can be selected to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness at an aggregated level, in groups of patients with a-SAH, which may help to evaluate interventions in a clinical or research setting. However, the relatively large prediction error does not allow for an accurate prediction in individual patients. PMID: 27915583 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
