We examined the agreement between peak oxygen uptake (V˙o2peak), estimated using prediction equations from the 6-min Walk Test (6MWT), and V˙o2peak measured using a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) to estimate change in V˙o2peak in patients with heart failure (HF) enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
