Physical activity in incident patients with pulmonary arterial and chronic thromboembolic hypertension

Introduction The cardinal symptom of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is dyspnea on exertion, leading to decreased activity in daily living. The aim of this study was to analyze daily physical activity in incident patients with arterial or chronic thromboembolic PH (PAH/CTEPH) and to investigate its correlation with pulmonary hemodynamics, symptoms, exercise capacity, and other outcomes.
