Sexual health and health-related quality of life among women with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by progressive limitations in physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL deficits may extend beyond the traditional domains of physical activity, psychological health, and emotional wellbeing to sexual health and function. Sexual HRQoL has not been studied in PAH, nor has the impact of PAH therapies themselves on sexual health and intimacy.
