Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) leads to right ventricular failure and affects quality of life, but a multidisciplinary outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program may help improve patient outcomes.
- The study involved 21 stable patients with PAH or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), who participated in a 10-week PR program focusing on exercise and psychological support.
- Results showed improvements in exercise endurance, walking distance, and quality of life, suggesting that outpatient PR can effectively enhance health status for these patients.
