Safety and effectiveness of standardized exercise training in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (TRAIN-HFpEF-PH): study protocol for a randomized controlled multicenter trial

Abstract Background Left heart failure (HF) is characterized by an elevation in left-sided filling pressures, causing symptoms of dyspnea, impairing exercise capacity, and leading to pulmonary venous congestion and secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). There is an increased incidence of PH associat...
