| Core Tip |
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a tool for the assessment of exercise capacity in chronic heart failure. During beta-blocker therapy, heart-rate readouts during 6MWT are often blunted. Blood pressure variability measured in the recovery window following 6MWT may overcome this limitation, offering a low-cost method to assess compensatory reserve and enhance cardiac interpretation. |
