Abstract

Objective: To analyze the available scientific evidence on the application of the 2-Minute Stationary Gait Test (2MST) in individuals with cardiovascular diseases, focusing on its validity, reliability, clinical applicability and use in cardiac rehabilitation programs. Method: Systematic review based on original articles published between 2014 and 2024 in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and SciELO databases. The descriptors “2-minute step test”, “functionalcapacity”, “heartfailure”, “coronaryarterydisease”, “cardiacrehabilitation”, “validity”, “reliability” and “cardiovascular diseases” were used. Previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The methodological quality assessment was performed by twoindependent reviewers. Results: After screening 203 studies, 13 articles met the eligibility criteria. The selected studies indicated good concurrent validity and reliability of the 2MWT, especially in elderly patients with heart failure, coronary artery disease and in cardiac rehabilitation. In addition, the test demonstrated good clinical applicability in different outpatient settings. Conclusion: The 2MWT is a viable, reliable and clinically useful tool for assessing functional capacity in cardiovascular populations, being a more accessible and practical alternative in settings with limited resources.
