Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have reduced cardiorespiratory capacity after the procedure. An adequate assessment in the patients’ postoperative period is essential, aiming at a better prescription for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation phase II and return to daily life activities. Our study sought to evaluate the correlation between peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2), from cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with the distance covered in the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients after 40 days of CABG. This is a cross-sectional study with sample consisting of patients submitted to CABG. Patients included were assessed 40 days after the surgery in a hospital environment through cardiopulmonary exercise test in a treadmill protocol and the 6MWT according to the American Thoracic Society. We used the Pearson’s correlation test to analyze the outcomes. Thirty-nine patients participated in the study, of which 28 (71.8%) were men, with a mean age of 58±years. It was possible to observe a sedentary lifestyle (74.4%), tobacco use (74.4%) and high prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension (82.1%). The mean distance walked on the 6MWT was 494m±70m and the mean peak VO2 was 19.5±3.6 mL/kg/min and the correlation between them was r=0.48; p=0.02. There was a moderate and statistically significant correlation between the distance walked in the 6MWT and the peak VO2 in patients after 40 days of CABG.
