May identify early pulmonary vascular disease; leaves open prospective validation of proposed exercise thresholds.
Does exercise pulmonary hypertension exist as a clinically relevant entity?
Exercise pulmonary hypertension is a clinically relevant entity that can unmask early or latent disease, with a proposed new definition of mPAP >30 mmHg and TPR >3 WU during exercise.
Lau et al. (2016) conducted a review in Exercise pulmonary hypertension. Exercise pulmonary hemodynamic testing was evaluated. Exercise pulmonary hypertension is a clinically relevant entity that may be defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure >30 mmHg and simultaneous total pulmonary resistance >3 WU.
