A patient-powered treatmill was compared with the covered corridor walking test as assessments of exercise capacity in heart failure patients, and used to investigate their sensitivity in discriminating between the effects of xamoterol and placebo. The two methods were comparable, and sufficiently sensitive to demotstrate improvements in exercise capacity on xamoterol. The treadmill was more sensitive and could be useful as an assessment of treatment of heart failure in family practice.
