ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as an elevation of mean pulmonary-arterial pressure by >â20âmmHg at rest, which may lead to right heart failure. Physical exercise has not been regularly recommended for PH patients for fear of symptom deterioration or occurrence of exercise-induced adverse events.METHODS:
Three electronic databases were searched for randomized, controlled trials investigating exercise training in PH patients using the following keywords "pulmonary hypertension" OR "pulmonary arterial hypertension" AND "exercise" OR "pulmonary rehabilitation" AND "randomized".RESULTS:
Five studies involving 187 PH patients were included in this systematic review. Exercise programs lasted for 3â-â12 weeks (e.âg. endurance training for 10â-â45 minutes; 60â-â80â% of the peak heart rate). PH patients significantly improved exercise capacity compared to controls in 6-minute walk distance (+â45âm; 95â% CI 26âmâ-â64âm) or peak oxygen consumption (+â2.3âml/kg/min; 95â% CI 1.8â-â2.9âml/kg/min), both pâ<â0.001. Also, physical and mental quality of life improved significantly by exercise training. No exercise-induced adverse events were observed.CONCLUSION:
Supervised exercise training can safely and significantly improve physical performance and quality of life in clinically stable PH patients with optimal drug treatment. However, larger studies including a wider range of PH are mandatory.
