Early Heart Rate Recovery after a 6-min Walking Test Predicts Clinical Benefits in Patients after Percutaneous Aortic Valve Implantation.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIt was hypothesized that the time-appropriate return to a resting heart rate (HR) after cessation of exercise could be a marker for predicting outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of HR recovery in functional improvement among adults with severe aortic stenosis undergoing percutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
methodsWe performed a 6 min walk test (6MWT) in 93 individuals before TAVI and 3 months after the procedure. The change in walking distance was calculated. During the pre-TAVI 6MWT, we analyzed the differences between baseline HR, HR at the end of the test, and HR at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd minute of recovery.
resultsAfter 3 months, 6MWT distances improved by 39 ± 63 m and reached a total of 322 ± 117 m. Multiple linear regression proved the differences between HR after 2 min of recovery and baseline HR in pre-TAVI after a 6MWT was the only significant predictor of waking distance improvement during follow-up.
conclusionsOur study suggests that analysis of HR recovery after a 6MWT may be a helpful and easy parameter to assess improvements in exercise capacity after TAVI. This simple method can help to identify patients in whom no significant benefit in functional improvement can be expected despite successful valve implantation.
