Exercise training is an established, guideline-recommended treatment approach in cardiovascular disease. Designing novel methods of exercise training that would be accepted by the patients seems to be a way to increase patient attendance at cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The 6-min walking test (6-MWT) is a simple, safe and objective method to assess exercise capacity. In patients without heart failure, oxygen consumption after 6 min of walking reaches the ventilatory threshold (VT) level. Training up to the VT level is recommended in CR. Theoretical grounds exist for designing a novel model of CR based on diagnostic 6-MWT.
