Ambulatory rehabilitation improves exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Rehabilitation is a central treatment modality for patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disease. Physical exertion for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has typically been discouraged. Inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation has been shown to improve exercise capacity in patients with PAH. The present study aimed to evaluate outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation for patie...
متن کاملExercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is uncertain, and its existence has never been well studied by direct measurements of central hemodynamics. Using invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing, we hypothesized that exercise-induced PAH represents a symptomatic stage of PAH, physiologically intermediate between resting pulmonary arterial hyp...
متن کاملHospital admissions and exercise capacity decline in patients with COPD.
Exercise capacity declines with time and is an important determinant of health status and prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We hypothesised that hospital admissions are associated with exercise capacity decline in these patients. Clinical and functional variables were collected for 342 clinically stable COPD patients. The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) was det...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension at exercise in COPD: does it matter?
P ulmonary hypertension is a common complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In these patients, the increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is usually mild, in the range of 20 to 30 mmHg mean PAP (mPAP) with little progression over the years, on average 0.4 mmHg per year, and is preventable and sometimes partially reversible with chronic oxygen therapy [1, 2]. Sharp inc...
متن کاملBenefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD and normal exercise capacity.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is beneficial for patients with COPD, with improvement in exercise capacity and health-related quality of life. Despite these overall benefits, the responses to PR vary significantly among different individuals. It is not clear if PR is beneficial for patients with COPD and normal exercise capacity. We aimed to investigate the effects of PR in patients w...
