Why the study?

Does age affect pulmonary hemodynamics at rest and during supine exercise in asymptomatic subjects?

Structured PICO

Does age affect pulmonary hemodynamics at rest and during supine exercise in asymptomatic subjects?

Population

125 asymptomatic subjects aged 14-68 years, who were healthy or had indispositions which did not impair cardiac or pulmonary function

Intervention

Supine exercise during right heart catheterization

Comparator

Resting state

Outcome

Pulmonary circulation variables (right atrial, pulmonary artery and wedge pressures, cardiac output, pulmonary artery-wedge pressure gradient, flow resistance)surrogate

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Age significantly increases pulmonary pressures and flow resistance during exercise, but has minimal effect on resting hemodynamics in asymptomatic subjects.
