6mwt results: 477m, with saturation going down from 100% to 97%, heart rate up to 75% max. i'm 39. cardiologist said is not good. what should it be?

Not terrible: It's not an aweful result but distance should be over 500 meters and oxygen levels should not drop. Many times a repeat study will have a better distance due to learning better how to pace yourself but the drop in oxygen level might merit some investigation such as a PFT and echocardiogram.
