There is growing recognition of the clinical importance of pulmonary haemodynamics during
exercise, but several questions remain to be elucidated. The goal of this statement is to …

Exercise stress testing of the pulmonary circulation for the diagnosis of latent or early-stage
pulmonary hypertension (PH) is gaining acceptance. There is emerging consensus to define …

Exercise stresses the pulmonary circulation through increases in cardiac output (Q.) and left
atrial pressure. Invasive as well as noninvasive studies in healthy volunteers show that the …

The previous definition of exercise pulmonary hypertension (PH) with a mean pulmonary
artery pressure (mPAP)> 30 mmHg was abandoned because healthy individuals can …

Background Abnormal pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) responses to exercise have been
described in select individuals; however, clinical and prognostic implications of exercise …

The pulmonary circulation is a high flow and low pressure circuit, with an average resistance
of 1 mmHg. min. L− 1 in young adults, increasing to 2.5 mmHg. min. L− 1 over 4–6 decades …

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 …

Exercise stress tests have been used for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, but with
variable protocols and uncertain limits of normal. The pulmonary haemodynamic response …

The objective of this prospective study was to assess safety and efficacy of exercise training
in a large cohort of patients with different forms and World Health Organization (WHO) …

It is recognized that exercise produces abnormally large increases in pulmonary artery
pressure in patients with pulmonary vascular disease as a consequence of a variety of …
