Background and Alms Identification of patients with heart failure (HF) at high risk of hospital readmission is critical to refine processes for reducing readmission rates We hypothesized that patients with higher 6-min walk (6MW) distance at the time of hospital discharge are at low risk for early readmissionMethods. We prospectively enrolled 265 patients admitted with HI: and left ventricular systolic dysfunction 6MW testing was administered prior to discharge Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between 6MW distance awl 30-day readmission. stratifying by 400 m.Results Two hundred ten patients underwent 6MW testing prior to discharge Patients with MW >400 m had a 30-day readmission rate of 15 9%, whereas patients with 6MW
