The Effect of Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Testing on NT-proBNP Levels in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure

The Effect of Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Testing on NT-proBNP Levels in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure

Background: The submaximal exercise testing, four hundred meters walking test (400mWT), respectively six minutes walking test (6MWT) were proposed as an alternative to classical exercise stress testing on cycloergometer in heart failure patients. Purpose: to compare 400mWT and 6 MWT between them, bu...

Zusammenfassung:Background: The submaximal exercise testing, four hundred meters walking test (400mWT), respectively six minutes walking test (6MWT) were proposed as an alternative to classical exercise stress testing on cycloergometer in heart failure patients. Purpose: to compare 400mWT and 6 MWT between them, but also with classical exercise stress testing on cycloergometer, by using amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide values (NT-proBNP) before and after exercise. Method: 20 patients were studied with systolic heart failure (LVEF
