Incremental Shuttle Walking Test Distance and Autonomic Dysfunction Predict Survival in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Background To ensure effective monitoring of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a simple, reliable assessment of exercise capacity, applicable over a range of disease severity is needed. The study aim was to assess the ability of the incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) to correlate with dise...
