Exercise RVEDP may better classify right heart failure than resting values in COPD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does mild steady-state supine exercise alter central hemodynamics compared to rest in patients with chronic obstructive bronchopulmonary disease?
Exercise right ventricular end-diastolic pressure is a more reliable indicator of right ventricular functional abnormality than resting values in patients with chronic obstructive bronchopulmonary disease.
