Key result
Diabetes mellitus lowers six-minute walk test performance and peak oxygen uptake in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction compared to those with LVSD alone.
Why the study?
Does diabetes mellitus lower peak oxygen uptake and six-minute walk test performance in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
Does diabetes mellitus lower peak oxygen uptake and six-minute walk test performance in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
Diabetes mellitus is associated with lower peak oxygen uptake and six-minute walk test performance in patients with heart failure and LVSD.
To the Editor: Tibb et al. ([1][1]) have recently observed that patients with diabetes mellitus and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) have a lower peak oxygen uptake ṗVo2than patients with LVSD alone. Peak oxygen uptake provides important information on risk stratification and can be
