This study aimed to investigate the role of impedance cardiography (ICG) in evaluating hemodynamic changes during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) who underwent combined concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and immunotherapy. Additionally, It sought to analyze the predictive significance of cardiac parameters to both treatment toxicity and survival prognosis.

The study conducted a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in a hospital hallway following ATS guidelines. Patients rested for 10 minutes before the test. Impedance measurements were taken before (2 minutes), during (6 minutes), and after (3 minutes) the walk, recording cardio-dynamic parameters with impedance cardiography (ICG).
