Key result
Exercise training in pulmonary arterial hypertension has been shown across several studies to improve symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
Why the study?
Despite established benefits of exercise training in pulmonary arterial hypertension, further research is needed to clarify mechanisms of benefit, optimize treatment effects, and widen access to rehabilitative medicine.
Does exercise training improve symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Does exercise training improve symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Exercise training is an increasingly established intervention that improves symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Supports exercise training in PAH; leaves open mechanisms and optimal strategies for targeted trials.
Exercise training as treatment has become well established in many cardiorespiratory conditions. This is also increasingly the case in pulmonary arterial hypertension, where several studies have demonstrated improvements in symptoms, exercise capacity and quality of life. There remains, however, much potential for development. Current research is focused on clarifying the mechanism of benefit in pulmonary hypertension and exploring strategies for both optimizing the treatment effect and widening access to this intervention.
