Purpose: Compared with symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), timed walking tests are cheaper, well-tolerated and simpler alternative for assessing exercise capacity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. We developed multivariate models for predicting peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) from 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and peak shuttle walk speed for elderly stable CAD patients. Methods: Fifty-eight CAD patients (72 SD 6 years, 66% men) completed:(1) CPET with expired gas analysis on a cycle …
