Functional tests in patients with ischemic heart disease
Journal of Medicine and Life, 2022 Lately, easier and shorter tests have been used in the functional evaluation of cardiac patients. Among these, walking speed (WS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests are associated with all-cause mortality, mainly cardiovascular and the rate of re-hospitalization, especially in the elderly population.

Liver Function Tests in Chronic Congestive Heart Failure [PDF]
Circulation, 1950 It has been difficult for the clinician to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the degree of damage to the liver in the presence of congestive heart failure. This paper gives a statistical analysis of the results of various liver function tests on a group of patients with congestive heart failure.

Pulmonary Function Testing Pre–heart Transplant Predicts Posttransplant Survival
Transplantation Direct, 2021 Introduction. Although pulmonary function testing (PFT) is typically performed for heart transplant evaluation, the prognostic utility of PFTs after transplantation is unknown. We evaluated whether PFT parameters were correlated with outcomes following heart transplantation. Methods.
