The impact of gas transfer on responses to exercise training in patients with pulmonary hypertension

Exercise training is recommended for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Post hoc analysis of the PH and Home‐Based (PHAHB) trial stratified patients into two groups based on median diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Patients with higher DLCO had a greater improvement in physical a...

Description
Summary:	Exercise training is recommended for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Post hoc analysis of the PH and Home‐Based (PHAHB) trial stratified patients into two groups based on median diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Patients with higher DLCO had a greater improvement in physical activity performance in response to exercise training, compared to those with lower DLCO. DLCO may be an important consideration in prescribing exercise in PH.
