Six-minute walking test predicts long-term cardiac death in patients who received cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Europace. 2009 Mar;11(3):338-42, PMID: 19136491

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proven to be effective in patients suffering from chronic heart failure (CHF) associated with electrical dyssynchrony. However, long-term predictors of mortality in that subset have not been extensively investigated. The aim of this study was to establish baseline long-term predictors of cardiovascular mortality in CHF patients treated with CRT.
