Demand for exercise training in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension in Scotland
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The consensus statement and review recommended that exercise training of PAH patients should be undertaken by centres experienced in both the management of PAH and rehabilitation of compromised patients. Despite this, dedicated exercise training programmes do not exist in the UK and many other European countries. In these countries, exercise training is delivered to a small, unselected population of pulmonary hypertension patients in an ad hoc manner, by services specialised for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or left heart failure.

متن کاملArrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension.

متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...
