Exercise Testing to Estimate Survival in Pulmonary Hypertension

Do CPET parameters predict survival and add prognostic value to 6MWD in patients with pulmonary hypertension?

Population

Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH)

Intervention

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters

Comparator

6-minute walk distance (6MWD)

Outcome

Survivalhard clinical

CPET parameters offer marginal additional prognostic value for survival over 6MWD in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

: CPET parameters predict survival in PH patients and add marginally to the prognostic value of the 6MWD.
