Exercise-Induced Changes in Pulmonary Artery Stiffness in Pulmonary Hypertension

Exercise-Induced Changes in Pulmonary Artery Stiffness in Pulmonary Hypertension

Background: Pulmonary hypertension causes pulmonary artery (PA) stiffening, which overloads the right ventricle (RV). Since symptoms of pulmonary hypertension (PH) are exacerbated by exercise, exercise-induced PA stiffening is relevant to cardiopulmonary status. Here, we sought to demonstrate the fe...
