Association of 30-s chair stand test performance with exercise intolerance and hospitalization for symptomatic heart failure in type 2 diabetes and stage B heart failure.

A study published in the Journal of Cardiology investigated whether performance on the 30-second chair stand test (30-CST) could predict exercise intolerance and hospitalization risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and Stage B heart failure. Researchers found that poorer 30-CST scores were associated with both reduced exercise capacity and increased likelihood of hospitalization for symptomatic heart failure. These findings suggest the 30-CST may serve as a clinically useful functional assessment tool for identifying high-risk patients in this population.
