CASE_CONTROL
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Chronic Heart failure group
All chronic heart failure group participants will perform two walk tests at the same day, with a heart rate monitor, and answer questionnaires about their perception of quality of life. Tests will be conducted on a single day, without follow up of patients. The six minute walk test will be performed according the American Thoracic Society Statement (2002).
Six minute walk test
If patients meet the criteria of the study, their data will be collected and will be interviewed to fill the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). They then will be taken to the hallway to perform the six minute walk test monitored with a heart rate monitor (Polar RS800 CX). After the test there will be a break of 20 to 30 minutes before repeating the walk test. During rest time, the patient will answer the general health survey questionnaire: Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).
Control Group
All control group participants will perform two walk tests at the same day, with a heart rate monitor, and answer questionnaires about their perception of quality of life. Tests will be conducted on a single day, without follow up of patients. The six minute walk test will be performed according the American Thoracic Society Statement (2002).
