Key result
The six-minute walk test is a reliable and valid tool for determining exercise intensity and evaluating the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation programs in breast cancer patients.
Why the study?
Breast cancer therapies frequently cause cardiotoxicity, and submaximal exercise testing is needed to evaluate physical load tolerance and cardio-oncology rehabilitation effectiveness.
Does the six-minute walk test effectively assess exercise tolerance and guide cardio-oncology rehabilitation in breast cancer patients?
