Background Many patients with pulmonary arterial or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary
hypertension (PH) wish to travel to altitude or by airplane, but their risk of hypoxia-related …

Question addressed by the study To investigate exercise performance and hypoxia-related
health effects in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) during a high-altitude sojourn …

Aims The purpose of the current trial was to test the hypothesis that breathing oxygen-
enriched air increases exercise performance of patients with pulmonary arterial or chronic …

Exercise performance is determined by oxygen supply to working muscles and vital organs.
In healthy individuals, exercise performance is limited in the hypoxic environment at altitude …

Background Our objective was to investigate the effect of a day-long exposure to high
altitude on peak exercise capacity and safety in stable patients with pulmonary arterial …

Objective Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are often recommended
supplemental oxygen for altitude travel due to the possible deleterious effects of hypoxia on …

PEX-NET is likely to provide answers regarding the prognostic relevance of pulmonary
haemodynamics during exercise and will stimulate further research on the underlying …

The objective of these experiments was to determine whether living and training in moderate
hypoxia (MHx) confers an advantage on maximal normoxic exercise capacity compared with …

In patients suffering from primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), a raised pulmonary
vascular resistance may limit the ability to increase pulmonary blood flow as work rate …

BACKGROUND: Recent air travel recommendations suggest patients with precapillary
pulmonary hypertension (PCPH) in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 3 …
