Abstract

Objectives. To assess the relationship between the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods. Forty-six patients (37 men and 9 women) with chronic heart failure, mean age 68 (SD 9), NYHA II-III and EF 29 (9) % were included. They performed 6MWT and assessed HRQL using two tools, a Swedish version of the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). This was performed repeatedly during a study period of one year. Results. Patients with a walking distance lower than median experienced a lower HRQL than the higher performing half of the cohort, in four dimensions of the SF-36 and the summary of physical and mental components, but not in the dimensions of MLHFQ. Conclusion. Patients with heart failure with a short walking distance assessed their quality of life as inferior in half of the dimensions in the SF-36 but not in the dimensions measured with the MLHFQ. Thus, different aspects of the symptomatology are uncovered using the 6MWT and the different HRQL tools.

慢性心力衰竭患者6分钟步行距离与健康相关生活质量的关系

目标。评估慢性心力衰竭患者6分钟步行试验(6MWT)与健康相关生活质量(HRQL)之间的关系。方法。纳入46例慢性心力衰竭患者(男37例，女9例)，平均年龄68岁(SD 9)， NYHA II-III和EF 29(9) %。他们使用两种工具进行6MWT和HRQL评估，一种是瑞典版的36项短表(SF-36)和明尼苏达州心力衰竭生活问卷(MLHFQ)。这项研究在一年的研究期间反复进行。结果。步行距离低于中位数的患者的HRQL在SF-36的四个维度和身心成分的总结中低于表现较好的那一半患者，但在MLHFQ的维度中没有。结论。步行距离短的心力衰竭患者在SF-36的一半维度中评估其生活质量较差，但在MLHFQ测量的维度中并非如此。因此，使用6MWT和不同的HRQL工具可以揭示症状学的不同方面。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
