The Six-Minute Step Test as a Predictor of Functional Capacity according to Peak VO2 in Cardiac Patients

Conclusion: An equation for predicting VO2peak based on 6MST results was derived, and a significant association was found between 6MST and VO2peak. The cutoff point for 6MST, which predicts a VO2peak ≥ 20 mL.Kg-1.min-1, was>105 steps. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2021; 116(5):889-895)
