Table 3 Correlation between 6MWD and ICG data.
| ICG parameter | Correlation coefficient | P-value |
|---|---|---|
| TFC | −0.139 | 0.242 |
| TFCI | −0.322 | |
| CO | 0.399 | |
| SI | 0.253 | |
| STR | 0.151 | 0.203 |
| LCW | 0.43 | |
| LCWI | 0.419 | |
| 6MWD – 6-min walk distance; ICG – transthoracic impedance cardiography; TFC – thoracic fluid content; TFCI – thoracic fluid content index; CO – cardiac output; SI – systolic index; STR – systolic time ratio; LCW – left cardiac work; LCWI – left cardiac work index. | ||
