Background : The Weber classification based on peak VO 2  is a well-established method for categorizing patients with heart failure (HF) regarding severity. However, other submaximal tests such as the Glittre ADL-Test have been gaining prominence in practice due to a coherent and more comprehensive correlation with limitations for performing activities of daily living in patients with heart failure. Objective : To investigate the correlation between the time required to perform the Glittre ADL-Test and the peak VO 2  in patients with HF. Methods : A cross-sectional study conducted with 40 adult individuals (21 to 65 years) diagnosed with HF of all etiologies, with LVEF&lt;50% and NYHA II and III. Results : The average time for performing the Glittre ADL-Test was 284.9 seconds, and a significant difference was found between Weber classification classes A and C ( p  = .01). Significant correlations with peak VO 2  were also found (r = −0.424 –  p  &lt; .01). Thirty (30) patients performed a second test, and the ICC found in the reproducibility analysis was 0.75 (95% CI 0.14–0.91) and  p  &lt; .01. Conclusion : The Glittre ADL-Test was able to reflect the functional performance of individuals with HF, suggesting that it represents an evaluation tool which can be safely used in clinical practice.

Association between performance on the Glittre ADL-test and the functional capacity of patients with HF: A cross-sectional study
