Age differences in contemporary treatment of patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The 6-minute walk test (6 MWT) is widely used to assess exercise tolerance in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). However, previous research shows it to be insufficiently responsive, especially for patients with a relatively high maximal exercise tolerance at baseline. We therefore designed a 6-minute walk/run test...
