The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cardiorespiratory parameters during CPET and 6MWT in a large, multicentre, heterogeneous population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included athletes, healthy subjects, and heart failure (HF) patients of different severity, including left ventricular assist device (LVAD) carriers, who underwent both CPET and 6MWT with oxygen consumption measurement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We enrolled 186 subjects (16 athletes, 40 healthy, 115 non-LVAD HF patients, and 15 LVAD carriers). CPET-peakV\u0307O2 was 41.0 [35.0\u201345.8], 26.2 [23.1\u201331.0], 12.8 [11.1\u201315.3], and 15.2 [13.6\u201315.6] ml\/Kg\/min in athletes, healthy, HF patients, and LVAD carriers, respectively (P &amp;lt; 0.001). During 6MWT they used 63.5 [56.3\u201376.8], 72.0 [57.8\u201381.0], 95.5 [80.3\u2013109], and 95.0 [92.0\u201399.0] % of their peakV\u0307O2, respectively. None of the athletes, 1 healthy (2.5%), 30 HF patients (26.1%), and 1 LVAD carrier (6.7%), reached a 6MWT-V\u0307O2 higher than their CPET-peakV\u0307O2. Both 6MWT-V\u0307O2 and walked distance were significantly associated with CPET-peakV\u0307O2 in the whole population (R2 = 0.637 and R2 = 0.533, P \u2264 0.001) but not in the sub-groups.
