Abstract(s)
An acute ischemic event may cause a functional deterioration even in previously autonomous patients. The determination of functional
capacity is relevant to determine health indicators for rehabilitation nursing care, allowing at the same time to determine the patient's functional status
throughout their health-disease cycle and to prescribe exercise-based rehabilitation for home-based programs. The six-minute walking test is widely used
in studies involving cardiac patients, however, reference values for ischemic population after immediate clinical stabilization are not known. Also the
6MWT has a prognostic value for cardiac patients, being of utmost importance to evaluate it, after clinical stabilization in order to properly determine goals
for patient´s rehabilitation process.
