We present a novel description of Bezold-Jarisch Reflex (BJR) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in three young female patients with Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). These three cases presented within 26 months, representing only 0.8% of 11,387 tests on patients with PAH undergoing CPET during this time frame.

Prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation restored cardiac output within 2-3 min. Postoperatively, she remained stable and was discharged following 24 h of monitoring.

Sympathetic blockade and Bezold-Jarisch reflex do not fully explain SA-related cardiopulmonary complications. Reduction in FEV has been reported as a predictor of sudden cardiac death.
